I “Queer” by Sherwood Anderson, one of the stories that makes up Winesburg, Ohio (1919), subtitled “A Group of Tales of Ohio Small Town Life;” Elmer Cowley, the junior member of his father’s firm, Cowley and Son’s store in Winesburg, “was putting new shoelaces in his shoes. They did not go in readily and he had to take the shoes off. With the shoes in his hand he sat looking at a large hole in the heel of one of his stockings.”
