DescriptionThis rectangular sign for The Clinic Shoe is styled like a license plate, with slightly curved edges and an blue and gold color scheme. The sign’s outer edge is gold, followed by a curved blue border that frames a vibrant yellow background. At the center of the sign, a sequence of entries for The Clinic Shoe is prominently embossed in bold, raised and capitalized letters, arranged diagonally from the lower left to the upper right. With the same style in a larger, centered blue style is "The Clinic Shoe" with the word "Clinic" more prominent. Below this main text, the manufacturer information is written in a much smaller font. Beneath this, the slogan, "for Young Women in White," appears in an elegant silver cursive script, with a registered trademark symbol beside the word "White." Hale’s Shoe Store in Albuquerque displayed this sign and represents it the store’s commitment to providing specialized footwear, particularly for women working in professional or medical settings. Hale's Shoes store was located at 109 5th Street Southwest next to Central Avenue in Albuquerque.
