This sign for the Better Shoes For Less factory outlet is a reminder to old main street America. The colors are in red, white, and blue. Not sure what type of business resided here in the past and whether or not it was always a shoe store.

This old time shoe store features the red wing bird on the marquee. Trautwein's is a real throwback to a time when shopping conveniences could be found just down the street. 10-05
