Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1904-10-12

When the remodeled Ingledue stores
were opened this week. Marshalltown
people came into possession of the fin
est stores of their kind and character
between Chicago and San Francisco
The opening of the new stores is also
the opening of a new chapter in q high
ly successful business life spent In this
city For more years than many II
matron, who, as u school girl, bought
her shoes of "Ol" Ingledue would care
to remember, Mr.. Ingledue has been
selling shoes to the people OF Mar
shalltown and adjoining counties Be
ginning In small way his business
has been a most notable success. In
gledue always sold good shoes. II
there was a mistake he made 1t right
An exceptional buyer with q complete
knowledge of the shoe business at
wholesale and retail, he always bought
right. More than this he always sold
right and these two principles of bust
ness invariably spell success. That
the Ingledue stores are the best In their
class between Lake Michigan and the
Pacific is to be attributed to long years
of q consistent business policy that IN
sisted on a fair profit and gave fun
value received to it's customers. The
same principles will rule in the big
store. The Ingledues will still insist
on fair margin but the greater OPP
portunity afforded by the big store to
carry a big stock will enable them to
buy closer, In larger quantities and
give their patrons the benefit. 1t is a
big thing for Marshalltown to have the
finest shoe store west Of Chicago. 1T
is at once a source Of pride and the
means of saving money. 1t gives home
people the choice and prices of the
metropolis Both proprietors and pa
irons are to be congratulated on the
new store with it's miles of shelving
and monstrous stock for both profit by
IL.
For the past three months workmen
have been busy charging the stores
to twice their former size, so that now
the firm of Ingledue & Young have $40
feet of shelving for shoes, and Nettie
Ingledu0 & Co. have an equal amount
for the dry goods department. In the
rear, as formerly, Miss Gilmore has en-
larged quarters for her millinery store
and has moved in with a handsome
stock Of fall and winter hats. The eff
feet upon entering the dry goods de-
partment Is very pleasing. The show
cases are modern in every respect and
the glass counters heighten the picture
perceptibly Add to this the taste dis
played in arranging the goods to the
best advantage for the inspection Of
customers, and the scene is equal to
that which greets the eye when one
enters a. large city store.
The front windows are provided
with the finest prism glass in both
dry goods and shoe departments. The
private office of Mr.. Ingledue is In the
center of the room and the cashier
has an Office directly over that Of
Mr.. Ingledue, with a large skylight
over the two offices.
Both stores are heated by steam,
equipped with the latest cash carrier
system, have steel ceilings and best
of all, they have their own Lighting
plant, giving abundance of light at
a nominal cost. The stores also have
electric light fixtures, thus guarding
against any accident that might pos
sibly happen to the private lighting
plant.
For the convenience of their patrons
a large toilet room has been added,
towels, soap, and warm water placed
at the disposal of all those who de-
sire them. The idea being to make
the stores as home-like as possible,
and the proprietors have succeeded adj
mirably.
1t will be interesting to patrons and
public generally to know something of
those interested with Mr.. Ingledue in
the business, and who contribute to the
success of the mercantile house. David
Young was an employe of Mr.. Ingledue
for twenty years, prior to his being adj
mitted as a partner three years ago,
his faithful and conscientious service
having been appreciated. He is prob
ably one of the most expert shoe filters
in the state and has a remarkable
memory as to the sizes worn by Gus
toners of the firm.
Miss Nettie Ingledue is an expert in
her special line, and has charge of the
dry goods department, does all of the
buying, goes to the eastern markets and
personally selects what she believes
will suit her patrons and buys only the
best. For fourteen years she was a
trusted employee of I. L. Cady, in the
dry goods line, and is a competent and
courteous woman of affairs.
The firm employees twenty salesladies
and gentlemen, and employers and en-
nloyes constitute a happy family work.
ing together for the mutual interests of
both.
It was the intention to give MAJ
shalltown a. strictly first class dry goods
and shoe store and those who have
visited the large city store, freely i'd
nit that this has been accomplished
is no disputing the fact that
Ingledue & Young carry as good shoes
az any made in the world, and the
MANY styles that are sold exclusively
nv them and can not be obtained else
where. With a stock of both dry goods
and shoes as large as may be FOUND
in the big cities, MarshalltoWn should
and does feel proud of her best and
most modern mercantile firm In her
history. :.
A cordial invitation Is extended to all
to visit the store whether they buy or
not.
