A deal was closed this week be-
tween Messrs. Reuler and Rugg. re-
presenting the Hub, and Mrs. J. L.
Slattery, President of the newly or-
ganized Emporium Dry Goods Co., by
which the latter will take over the
Ladies' and Children's Department of
the Hub. The actual change will not
take place until about August first,
when the Emporium will move from
their present quarters on Front Street
into the Hub building and will occupy
the store space now being used by the
Women's Department of the Hub.
While giving up this department of
their business, The Hub will still con-
tinue their Mems Department. When
Reuler and Rugg first started in busi-
ness here three years ago they only
had this department and they will now
give their attention exclusively to
mems clothing and furnishings. Their
store has always been noted for the
high quality of it's goods and when
the change is made they will be bet
ter able to handle this end of their
business.
The newly organized Emporium
Dry Goods Co., Of which Mrs. J. L.
Slattery is President and Manager,
has as stockholders some of the most
responsible business men and stock
men in Valley County. The new firm
will be one of the largest of it's kind
in the state, and those who are in
terested in the concern have shown
their confidence in Mrs. Slattery by
the amount Of stock they have taken.
In June 1908 Mrs. ]. l.. Slattery
started in business in Glasgow, when
she bought out Mrs. Molly Conatser,
who is now Mrs. Stevens of Nashua.
The stock of the Emporium at that
time amounted to about 100000, the
store being located in the building
now used by Elmer johnson as a
plumbing shop.
In February 1909 the new St. Clair
and Kent building on Front street
was completed and Mrs. Slattery NOV
ed the Emporium into the east room
of this building, which store she is
now occupying. Since moving into
the St. Clair building, Mrs. Slattery
has installed new and modern fixtures
and has at all times carried the most
complete and up-to-date line of mil
linery and women's and children's
furnishings, coats, suits, etc., in north
ern Montana.
The Emporium has always been
one of the best stores of it's kind IN
the state and the courteous treatment
! accorded everyone, coupled with ex-
cellent service and good goods, has at
all times made the Emporium one of
the most popular stores in Montana.
/ The new Emporium will be located
in the building now occupied by the
ladies' furnishings department of the
Hub. This store is about 3Ox9O feet
and will give ample room for the
splendid stock which Mrs. Slattery
intends to buy. Mrs. Slattery will
make trip east in the near future
and purchase goods for the coming
season. 1t is Mrs. Slattery's inten-
tions to make trip to New York
each season to purchase the stock for
the new store and will give the pat
rons Of the store an opportunity TO
get the best at all times. The new
store will carry the largest stock of
millinery, women's furnishings, shoes,
suits, coats, etc, in northern Montana.
