V. L. & A. was (maybe still is in a morphed form) a very upscale sporting oriented store. I have seen it written somewhere as Van Lidtke & Antoinne (spelling(?)) or something akin thereto. It may have been absorbed by Abercrombie and Fitch, I don't know. I remember visiting the store in Chicago ( 8 Wabash ??) many times. They had some wonderful CM Russel and Frederick Remington paintings and bronzes. Lots of cool stuff.
I don't know how to post pictures. Most of them got burned up in a fire my parents endured. I'll see what I can do. The lady is long gone and buried in Montana.
