Can anyone make out this information?

Hi!
I got a beautiful chambray circle skirt dress today. The label is MIA but the original belt has writing on it. Does this look familiar to anyone? The owner was brilliant and pined the date on the dress (1957). It has a side metal zip.

I kept looking at your belt logo and rather than a name that begins with an "M" I decided it looks like an "A"--and that the third letter is a bit far from the second letter, so I thought the second letter might be an uppercase "L." I then searched for belt companies in that 1957 era, with names that began with AL and I found All-Rite Belt Co. in NYC.

I futzed with your logo to see if All-Rite would fit and would match the bits of letters still left and I (sloppily) came up with this:

When I poked around online further I found this All-Rite belt:

As you may be able to see, it matches what I drew (except for the absence of "CO."), so I think that is what is on your belt.
