A Dedicated History to Family and Photos.
At the bottom of page fourteen surrounded by news of american expeditionary force in France, one month before Germany signed the armistice that ended World War I, was the modest ad that marked the beginning of what would become Schmitt Photo. On Christmas day, 1918, George W Schmitt with several other partners co-founded The Photo Shop. With in a year Schmitt would leave to start his own store, out of his home on Garfield Ave. called Schmitt Photo Service. Schmitt Photo Service gave new meaning to family business when the living room was the display floor and his son's bedroom was the darkroom.
Eventually the store out grew its humble beginnings and moved to a new location on Illinois St. near downtown Evansville. Schmitt offered photography supplies, film processing, copy work and enlargements along with cosmetics, groceries and assorted sundries. You could even get a sandwich at the lunch counter or have a bike messenger deliver sandwiches and ice cream to your door.
Through all the changes, family was always part of the equation with Schmitt Photo. George Jr. took over the management in 1946. In 1968, Steve started out part time at Schmitt Photo because he was dating George's youngest daughter Barb. "I fell in love with Barb first and learned to love retail photography later", says Steve. In May 2004, Steve and Barb acquired ownership of Schmitt Photo and their daughter Heather, now 33, is an important part of the business and carries on as the fourth generation of the same family in the ownership capacity. The company now specializes in photo accessories, digital and traditional photo processing, and an extensive scrapbook specialty store. Steve says, "It feels so good to be involved with an industry that contributes to the history and memories that are so important to families. I really feel that our niche is to provide a service that is meaningful and important for the future."
