Madelene & Jeanne (creator)The Madelene & Jeanne shop was in operation from about 1941-1967 according to the Grand Rapids City Directory. They were first located at 88 Ionia Ave NW, Grand Rapids. The original shop owners/milliners were Madelene Nowak and Jeanne Baker. They sold custom-made hats and also re-vamped old hats. The business was later sold to Mrs Alice Davids and by 1966 the business was listed as being located on 112 E Fulton St., Grand Rapids. After Mrs. Alice Davids passing in 1966, her husband Werner Davids took over the business for a year. Edward Miller (donor)
