History
The Davidson clothing company was formed in 1900 by Joe Davidson. His inborn sense of style fuelled his passion to work in the clothing industry; these were the times when the clothing trend was shifting from handmade garments to ready to wear clothing. Joe initially landed a job in a small clothing store, after learning the ropes of the business, in 1910 he married the daughter of his employer; Daisy Belle and also set up his first clothing store in Roanoke. He kept his store going through the Great Depression and after the World War he handed over the operations to his son. Sig Davidson added a store in downtown Blackmore in 1959 and doubled its size within two years. The business kept booming and the Davidson Company saw growth throughout the coming years.
