February 18, 1956 was the grand opening of the Bon Ton Shop
on Main Street in downtown Minot. The Bon Ton shop was the store for
discriminating women….. The store featured many nationally advertised labels.
The departments in the store were Sportswear, Suits and coats, Dresses,
Accessories and Tot-n-Teen wear…. Contractors were Mackley Construction, Minot
Electric and Minot Plumbing. During the celebration customers could register
for prizes, watch an informal modeling show and listen to organ music by Marge
McFall…Making a special appearance at the grand opening was the 1956 Dodge La
Femme. This was a Dodge Car designed exclusively for women ….
