Howdy Texans!! Who doesn't love a shining pair of green cowboy boots? Listen to the story of how a hat maker from Forth Worth came to see these green cowboy boots. Tom and his brother opened up a shoe shining place in downtown Fort Worth. One day a man with GREEN cowboy boots showed up to do a shoe shine. The customer then went up to the gambling house after. A little while later the man was thrown out dead from a gunshot. The brothers were shocked. Who knew things could get so exciting for a shoe shining business?
