In 1904, Frank P. Mitchell, a former AAU tennis and wrestling champion who previously worked for Spalding, partners with a Scottish golfer named Charles M. Ness to form an eponymous sporting goods store. A modest storefront on Philadelphia’s Arch Street, Mitchell & Ness Sporting Goods specialized in handcrafted tennis racquets, golf clubs and other equipment. Their high quality and attention to detail quickly makes the “Mitchell & Ness” label synonymous with the best sporting goods in the Philadelphia area.
Now Located: 1318 CHESTNUT ST.
PHILADELPHIA
