Glasgow is to have a new hardware
store. The announcement was made
this week by Glenn Maris that he had
rented the middle store of the Hub
building and would be ready to open
for business by Saturday, November
9th, with complete hardware stock.
The stock for the new store has al
ready been purchased and is now en-
route, so that it will be here in plenty
of time to have it unpacked and on
the shelves before the opening day.
The location which Mr.. Maris has
picked out for his new store is one of
the best in the city and the room he
will occupy is % feet by rs feet. The
shelving for the store is now being
built by the Kent sash and door fac
tory, and when installed will be COM
plete in every detail. Mr.. Maris' ex-
perience in the hardware business has
enabled him to work out his ideas on
labor and times saving devices in put
ting in the fixtures and he says that
when everything is ready it will be
the "slickest" little hardware store in
Northeastern Montana.
While not starting on tremendous
scale, yet Mr.. Maris feels that by
moderate beginning he will be able to
build up lucrative business. BY
buying for cash and selling for cash.
, he expects to secure his share of the
hardware trade. Bargains for every
body" is his motto, and he plans to
show the people of the county that
they can secure goods at home, of
better quality, than they can get by
sending away to catalogue houses. He
expects to carry a good line of hard
ware, and then for people who are
looking for something cheaper he will
have department for that purpose.
The store is located on one of
the main business streets of the city
and has two excellent window spaces
which Mr.. Maris expects to utilize to
good advantage with displays.
A complete stock of everything in
the hardware line will be carried on
the shelves. While not putting in a
big stock, Mr.. Maris states that he
has selected an assortment that will
meet every demand. His bolt stock
will contain everything that is ordin
arily required and the stock of tools
will comprise the best known ant
time-tried lines, and then for people
, who do not demand the best, there will
be stock Of bargain goods.
Mr.. Maris states that he intends t.
make his new place of business a on
price store, and that the margin O
profit will be in accord with condi
tions.
