THERE'S
GOLD IN THEM THAR' JEANS!
by Wayne Mattox
When news of the California Gold Rush reached Loeb "Levi" Strauss he wisely
deduced that a fortune could be made by expanding his family dry good
business, selling to cash-rich, merchandise-starved miners. In 1853, at age
24, Levi opened up his first waterfront store at 90 Sacramento Street, San
Francisco. Business flourished. Commonly repeated stories about young Strauss
fashioning durable pants for miners out of overstocked canvas are probably
based on myth.
