Title

The Hub Clothing Store in Oskaloosa, Iowa, Circa 1900

Description

Historically, The Hub serves as a wonderful example of American small business at the turn of the 20th Century. Location was the key to American small business success and The Hub definitely had this quality, as it was situated in downtown Oskaloosa on Market Street, the center of activity for Oskaloosa and Mahaska County as well. An interesting note from this photograph is the sign beneath the store label that states "Mens Togs". Togs is an old term that refers to clothes, but more specifically to coats. The word togs comes from the Latin term toga, referring to the ancient Roman loose garment worn by public officials to make them look stately.
