Biographical note
Edmund C. Goddard was born in Monroe, Wisconsin, in May 1862. He arrived in Portland in 1888 and started his career in shoe retailing in 1890 as an agent for James Means shoes. E. C. Goddard & Co. began officially in 1893, and moved to 129 6th (now 521 NW 6th Ave.) in 1895. Five years later, Joseph F.
