Main Street Vacated by
Mr.. and Mrs. Rogers

Negotiations which have been
pending for some time, completed
the first of the week, makes an i'm
portant change in the business life
of Sank Centre. ...........t .
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Rogers who
established the Mary-Ann Shop at
800 Main street three years ag1
last September, have leased the
Boston block, occupied for the last
10 years by the Bishop Co., and the
Boston Toggery, from w. o. p.
Hilsdale, and will take possession
OF the building as soon as it can BE-
redecorated, new fixtures put. in
place and a complete stock of dry
goods and notions and ladies' and
children's footwear added to the
ladies' ready-to-wear stock. This
will be strictly ladies' store.
During the three years which
Mr.. and Mrs. Rogers have been in
business in this city they have
established a splendid reputation
for carrying high-grade merchan-
disc in the ready-to-wear and Ia
dies furnishing lines.
Mrs. Rogers is an experienced dry
goods woman. She is convinced
that Sank Centre will support a
store handling nationally advertised
brands of piece goods, notions, Trim
mings, ladies' and chfldren's shoes.
The Mary Ann Shop which they
have operated at Melrose for the
past several months will be closed
and all of the energies of chess
splendid and reliable business peCS
pie devoted to the enlarged bust
ness of the Mary-Ann establish
ment in this city.
Attractive French windows will
be placed at the rear of the dis
play windows which will make them
much lighter and more attractive.
The entire building win be redec-
GRATED.
Instead of the store being divid-
ed, Sigurd Holme viii move the
Bosom Toggery into the location
now occupied by the Mary Ann
Shop.
ton store will be devoted for tho
proper display of ready-to-wear.
The new shoe department will De n
front on the south side Of the build
ing and the dry goods and notions
will take up the rear end of the
south side.
The line of shoes to be carried
will come from the best known
manufacturers of ladies' and chill
l,on,. .I,oa. q. Apoarioo Tbic ID
partment will be in the hands of a
competent shoe expert.
Mr.. Bishop vacates the building,
Friday evening of this week. The
work Of repair, remodeling and re-
decorating will be rushed as Jap
idly as possible. At this time it is
impossible for Mr.. and Mrs. Rogers
to set the formal opening date of
their new establishment but it will
be in the early part of February
Due announcement of the opening
will be made in the Herald.
Sigurd Holme, engaged in the
clothing business in this city for
81 years, for p years with his I'M
Gle, w. o. p. Hillsdale, taking over
the clothing department when the
latter retired from business in IAN
uary, 1922, operating under he
name of the Boston Toggery, will
have one of the neatest strictly
mems and boys clothing and furn-
ishing establishments to be found
in Central Minnesota, in his new
location, 800 Main Street.
Mr.. Holmes has always carried
high grade and dependable mer-
chandise and it can be safely pre-
dicted that he will not allow his
stock to deteriorate in his new 10
cation. His son, Sigurd Holme, Jr.,
will be associated with him. When
Mr.. Holme will have his formal OPP
ening at 800 Main Street is contlD-
gent very largely upon when Mr..
and Mrs. Rogers remove their stock
to the Bosom block.
Ever since it was announced
weeks ago that Mr.. Bishop would
retire from business in this city
there has been much speculation
among the citizens Of Sank Centre
and community as just who would
occupy the building. All realized
that this splendid building, ideally
located, would not remain vacant.
