MANY IMPROVE
MENTS AT The
BL0UCH STORE

Nels Blough,s thes popular proprie-
tor of the Blough Shoe Store, is just
completing many new improvements
at his place of business, and now has
the most attractive shoe store to be
found in the northwest. He has spar
ed no expense in making his place as
convenient and attractive as possible
for the large number of people that
visit the store daily.
Among the new Improvements made
during the past few weeks are new
hardwood floor, new display windows,
the entire interior of the store re-
painted and redecorated, much new
shelving, new hosiery fixtures, all
new electric wiring, and while this
work was going on Mr.. Blough added
a complete line of mems dress and
work shoes to the line of women's
and children's shoes which he former
ly carried.
We doubt if there is more COM
petent or a more popular shoe man
in the state than Mr.. Blough has
proven himself to be since he came
to Devils Lake in 1915. Before COM
ing here he was employed in large
shoe stores at Chicago, and various
places in Indiana. From 1915 until
the fall of 1919 he had charge of the
shoe department at the Mann depart
ment store, and while there became
acquainted with the particular buyers
Of footwear of the city and surround
ing territory, studied their wants, and
then spared neither time nor effort
in filling such wants.
