The Poll Parrot and Star brands of
shoes were two of the shoe
manufacturing and retailing
subsidiaries of Roberts, Johnson &
Rand, a Division of the International
Shoe Company of St. Louis, Missouri.
The company was started in 1898 by
brothers Jack and Oscar Johnson, with
the help of their cousin Frank C. Rand,
and financial backer John C. Roberts.
The bat with the Star Brand center
brand featured the Poll Parrot logo on
the Barrel which reads: "Poll Parrot
Shoes - For Real Boys" There were many promotional
items made such as whistles, Clickers,
noisemakers, and a baseball bat. There
was also a promotional baseball glove
made featuring the Poll Parrot logo,
that also has the slogan: Poll Parrot Shoes
For Real boys"
The Star Brands baseball bat and a baseball was offered for 50¢ when you
bought a pair of poll-Parrot shoes in
April, 1928. The bat was given away
free-with every pair of boys shoe sold
in May, 1928.
