From the early 1920s through the mid 1930s, The Erie Auto Supply Co. was located at 208 West Market Street in Sandusky. The company sold wholesale and retail automobile parts, and serviced vehicles in the space behind the store. Hudson, Essex and Jewett were some of the brands carried by Erie Auto Supply.
In 1936, Erie Auto Supply moved to 212 Hancock Street. From 1942 until the mid 1960s, Weber’s Men’s Wear was in business at 208 West Market Street.
Weber’s was one door away from City Hall. Other stores visible on Market Street in this 1950s era picture above were Gray’s Drugstore, Herman’s Jewelry, and Third National Bank.
Through the years, several different businesses operated at 208 West Market Street, including Sears, Spiegel Inc., Sonrise Ceramics, Revelations, and Bloomquist TV.
Today the Crowbar is now in business where Erie Auto Supply Company was once located.

Webers Men's Wear was owned by my Step-Grandfather Sam Weber and my Grandmother Mildred. Sam died in 1950 and Mildred in 1957. After that my mother Jeanne, Mildred's daughter, and her husband Pat Hahn took over the business. We were able to go until 2001 before we had to close. 60 years in Downtown. We were blessed to have that time together.
Thank you for sharing your history with the building 😊
