Ted,
By the early 1980s, the signs on their department stores
simply read "C & A". I don't know what they displayed
beforehand. All I can tell you is that I still have the
underwear and T-shirts I purchased at the Antwerp C&A in 1983.
To ensure we're on-topic here, in this photo, my wife is
wearing a T-shirt purchased at the same C&A location:
