When you are searching for a very special gift item for a woman, you dont need to search very far to find the perfect store to meet your needs, just go south on main street to the Wilson Style Shoppe. I had a great aunt Georgina, who lived in the north part of the county, who was never fussy about what gift she got for Christmas so long as it came in a ZCMI box. Im sure if she had lived in our area she would have felt the same about Wilsons. And I am also sure that many ladies whether teenage or older will be satisfied this year if they have a special gift in a Wilson box. Not only women from our town but many from other parts of the state and some from other states come to Wilsons for wearing apparel. Many who are former residents make it a habit to visit the store during their vacation simply because they know that they canget quality merchandise in a quiet atmosphere with competent clerks who are anxious to sell them something which they will look and feel good in and enjoy wearing. The owner and manager, Clyde Wilson McMahan, her daughter, Kathryn Brown, and the dozen clerks and personnel feel that a pleased customer is the best advertising they can get and in most cases a person who has bought one dress from them will return for more. Many men are seen at Wilsons this time of the year because they know that their wife will love the gift they buy there. They have not only dresses, suits, coats to choose from but the finest in handbags, scarfs, hosiery, blouses, pants and pant- Jack Leifson hat brought honor to Nobo District by boing named Utah Teacher of Year.
