American Accessories (for the 4th...)
Happy July 4th (as pormised, from the Horn Lake Rite Aid) everyone! Nope, not physically at Rite Aid on the 4th, but I did face a conundrum of sorts, as my mandatory Rite Aid day for this week happened to fall right on the holiday (wouldn't you know it?)! The obvious answer was to look for a remotely patriotic photo or two from the Horn Lake Rite Aid collection (of nearly 200 photos!) so I could keep on the mandatory schedule, and also celebrate the occasion at the same time. I breathed a sigh of relief when I was able to find two such photos (keeping in mind I did say "remotely" patriotic!), and both pics happened to fall right in line with the alphabetical order game I started on this photo go-round as well. (So stay tuned for a bonus July 4th pic to follow this one...and keep reading below for more about this photo as well).
Anyway, searching out American Accessories brings up two major possibilities: this one looks a bit upscale for just belts, but they do seem to be geared toward clothing and such. This one, despite having the highfalutin-sounding "International" tacked onto the name, is more local in nature, with facilities in Knoxville TN, and apparently designs and/or manufactures a broad range of products (probably a contract manufacturer). So (as you've heard before, back during my Memorial Day McD's photos), with me not wanting to work that hard and research holiday-related photos, I'd say it's a toss-up as to the origin of the logo seen here. Funny (but not really surprising) though that neither of those possibilities match this older-looking logo...
