Here Comes the Shoe Horse
Richard Neal, who taught mathematics for 20 years at the University of Oklahoma, has become an inventor and in the process invented the Shoe Horse which Neal says will make shoe shining easier and more pertinent.
Reportedly Neal has been developing and refining the Shoe Horse since the early 90’s and received a bit of help from the Engineering Department at OU along the way.
Currently Neal is test marketing his invention from a kiosk inside Shawnee Mall, in Shawnee.
And judging from the flowering write up both Neal and his invention received in the state’s largest circulation newspaper, he may well be on his way to fame, fortune and appreciation as the person that made shoe shining easier and a lot less messy.
