Friday, August 2, 1974 through the 10th of the month a big stock reduction sale is being held at the former Style Shop in Owen (Clark Co., Wis.), with the announcement pertaining to the Ad appearing on page five of this issue of the Owen Enterprise.

Also included in the advertisement is a new signature, "The Showcase."

The name change has come about with the recent sale of the business by Bonnie Marcott to R.F. Hughes, well known businessman, who successfully owned the former Hughes Department Store, until selling it a several weeks ago to Dan Langfeldt.

Mr. Hughes is being assisted in the operation of his business by Mrs. Ed Wendt and Mrs. Ted Robertson, both of whom have background in sales and buying experience. He intends to reduce the present line of merchandise, which will be replaced with new, and will eventually announce plans to build a new building, giving them adequate room for displaying merchandise.
