The History of Erker's Fine Eyewear

Erkers is one of the oldest businesses in St. Louis, opening in 1879! It is now run by this week's guests, Tony and Jack Erker...the FIFTH generation of the family. From being the official photographers at the 1904 World's Fair, to making the goggles for Charles Lindbergh for his historic solo flight in the Spirit of St. Louis from New York to Paris, Erker's has an amazing history. Wait until you find out what broadcasting legend(s) have worn their glasses, and how they imbed a little bit of St. Louis history each year into their eyewear that is now sold worldwide!
