Introduction
Over the past 60 years, Harlick and Co. has received hundreds
of photographs from skaters appreciative of the great skating
boots they have enjoyed wearing.
We have pictures from long ago, to the present skaters and stars.
But there is something special about the older ones.
We think these photographs give an insight into the great history
of ice skating.
We decided it would be fun to share some of these photos with
our guests to our web page. Some photos go back to the 30's,
40's and 50's.
If you find your own picture here, Let us know how you are doing.
Or it may be of someone you know. Let them know we have not forgotten
them and we would like to know how they are doing as well.
Some of the skaters we recognize, and some we know and still
make boots for. However, some of them we do not know or can not
read the signature. If you recognize someone in the photos and
we do not have the name or have misspelled a name, please e-mail
us and identify the skater by the number associated with it.
We would also like to give a brief description of the skater
and if it is known, what they are doing now.
Some of our friends may no longer be with us, but I think they
would enjoy knowing that their legacy goes on.
We hope you enjoy this part of yours and our history.

1. ??? We believe
this is from the early 30's. These skaters are no longer a mystery.
They have been identified by Doris Penndorf, a member of The
Figure Skating Historical Society. Here is her report. "....identified
Vol. 1, No 1. It is Earl Myr and Adeline Meinert. Earl was a
disciple of the George Mullers and became a new instructor for
the Yosemite Winter Club in Jan 1932., on the outdoor rink in
Yosemite Valley. Adeline was an amateur in the San Francisco
Bay region. They did an exhibition 3-29-33 at the Annual Carnival
of the St. Moritz Figure Skating Club of Oakland California.
The photo in Jan 1933 "Skating" magazine
is not the same. I really think this is the pair in your photo." So
do I Doris. Thanks for doing what appeared to be the impossible.
