I don't know anything about (John) King Leather Company except that it was open until fairly recently and that I don't remember ever seeing it before, though I must have driven this stretch of Barnwell at some point. The phone company can't be bothered to send me directories anymore, but they were still listed in the February 2017 book, so I'm just going to say they were a casualty of 2020 unless I hear differently.

  1. In my younger years I worked at a shoe store and we use to order cleaning supplies from this place. Never knew it was in Columbia, but they must have been a distributor for Kiwi and other shoe cleaning companies on top of whatever else they did with leather.

  2. I jog by this place pretty regularly and there's some work going on inside now. The front door was open and I got to peek in, lots of stuff stacked up inside.
