The Texas Trail of Fame website (see link) has a depiction of Ms. Justin, as well as this brief biography:
Enid Justin was born into the famous Justin boot making family and founded the Nocona Boot Company, herself, in 1925. While establishing the company, she turned her home into a boarding house and worked as a sales clerk, shipping clerk, stenographer and credit manager. In 1939 she helped assure her company’s national reputation when she sponsored a pony express race from Nocona to San Francisco. She was known for her charitable work throughout Texas and in 1981 her company merged with Justin Industries. She continued to serve as honorary chairwoman of the board until her death.

The Texas Trail of Fame was established in 1997 to honor those who have made a significant contribution to our Western way of life. Throughout the walkways of the Fort Worth National Historic District, bronze inlaid markers have been placed in honor of their achievements. The desire of the Texas Trail of Fame is to inspire and educate visitors through the adventure of reflecting on these Westerner’s accomplishments. Trail Guides are available at the Stockyards Visitor's information Center. So come on out to the Fort Worth Stockyards, grab a guide, and hit the trail!
