I love this photo of two men exchanging a quick word outside Neiman-Marcus, with bustling streets and Christmas decorations in the background. And those cowboy boots!
Merry Christmas, y’all!

They should never have gotten rid of those graphics. You could spot a Neiman’s bag a block away!

Mid to late 1950s? The boots are just plain weird in this context. Oddity is a dime a dozen now; then it wasn’t.
