Nugent Bro. Dry Goods Company. with Daniel -C. Nugent at the entrance to greet friends of the company, at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. formally Opened the doors of its brilliantly lighted.

newly decorated and completely stocked "progressive idea" up-town store at Vandeventer avenue and Olive street. The company is the first in St. Louts to Inaugurate the idea of a neighborhood store as an annex of its downtown department store. Nugent's yesterday satisfied every member of the vast throng which inspected the new store. It will now be possible for residents of the neighborhood to take advantage of wonderful money-saving opportunities without making the trip down town.

The new up-town store is in the building formerly occupied by the Banner Store. The entire structure has been remodeled and renovated and entirely new lines have been followed lin arranging the departments. The store might aptly be termed a series of stores within a. store, for the floors have been divided into shops and beautifully. furnished apartments, where the immense stock has been divided into Classes and each set aside In a store of i its own.

as It were. On the three floors it occupies is 15.000 square feet of floor space. The basement is so entirely unlike what the buying public has been accustomed to term basement that It would be an injustice to term it anything but thb first floor. The interior is finished in the ylchest and most brilliant mahogany furnishings. with pure white trimmings.

The second floor is but a repetition of the first In perfectness of detail and like the. third is so arranged as I to accommodate the convenience of the hurried shopper. There is the women's ready-to-wear shop. the muslin shop. the baby -clothes shop.

the cloak and suit shop. the corset and brassiere shop and numerous others. all containing the same values and re.markable sale prices which Nugent's invariably offer the public. Oscar C. Voelker is the manager In charge of the new stare.

It Is the intention of Nugents' to offer the residents of the central part of St. Louis an opportunity to "run over to the corner store" at 9 o'clock in the morning and shop, without being compelled to miss the rare bargains which Nugent's' immense buying power makes possible. The entire store yesterday was banked with flowers and Nogel's Orchestra furnished music. U. S.
