The Bowbells tribune. [volume] (Bowbells, Ward Co., N.D.) 1899-1969, 1922-01-13
new NAME FOR
POPULAR STORE

One of the more important bust
ness changes here during the past
few years is that announced by N.
l.. Simonson. proprietor OF the
Bowbells Cash Store, in big dou-
Bile page ad in this issue of The
Tribune. The store had been
known as the Bowbells Cash Store
since it was first started in July,
1921, but after a monster clearance
sale which Mr.. Simonson is putting
on next week, it will be known as
just plain "Simonson's''. There are
several reasons for this change in
name, the principal One being the
fact tina many people have insisted
on calling the store "Simonson's'
no matter what other name it had
been going by. MI Simonson has
been at the head Of the store ever
s.nce it started business, and many
people here have never called it
anything but Simonson's store. Mr..
Simonson feels that the change in
name will make things more simple
for his many customers when they
refer to his place of business, and
will be less apt to confuse his store
with that conducted by someone
else. The business will continue
to be conducted strictly on cash
basis the same as heretofore, and
it's motto will remain lone price to
ALL"
Mr.. Simonson came to Bowbells
in July, 1912 from Minot where he
was for a number of years employed
in the larger stores, and started the
Bowbells Cash store here in part
nership with J. Charlson. BY hon
est dealing, fair prices, and handl-
ing only quality goods the business
grew and prospered right from the
, start. A few years later or in
1918 Mr.. Simonson bought out the
interest of Mr.. Charlson, and since
that time has owned and conducted
the store himself. In 1919 he found
that the store building in which he
did business was not large enough
to properly display the large stocks
that he desired to handle, so he
purchased the entire Hurry block,
and by tearing out the partition
secured double the amount of floor
space. At this time he added sew
eral new lines to his store among
which was the ladies' ready to wear
garments. His sales in this de-
partment have increased tremendt-
uously, until now we find that lad
les come here from all parts Of the
county for up-to-date wearing ap-
parel at the lowest possible prices.
Sales in other departments also
grew fast, and the sales force has
been increased from time to time,
and all clerks are kept busy all the
= time. Mr.. Silnonson now carries
by far the largest and most COM
plete line Of general merchandise to
be found in Burke county, and his
annual sales are much larger than
that of any other store in this Sec
ton of the state.
The monster sale which Mr.. Sim
onson is putting on next week in
order to celebrate the event Of
change in name will save the peo-
pAO oA II ouj nc CouHLy HlOuty
in their purchases than any sale
held here for many years. Big
slashes in prices are made in every
department in the store, and it is
Mr.. Simonson's intention to dispose
of all winter goods curing this sale
in order to make room for new
spring goods which have started to
arrive. There are still several
months of winter left, apd these
goods are seasonable. A careful
,perusal Of the prices quoted in the
ad will convince anyone that every
item is real bargain, and that If
prices have anything 70 do with
moving goods, these prices will
clear the store of winter goods in
very short time
