Nu-Art Studio, August 1943

By JIM

Mr. and Mrs. E. Emerick opened the Nu-Art Studio, "formerly Montgomery Studio," in mid-August 1942 "next door to the Margie Ann Beauty Shop. In June 1943, the Emericks moved the establishment into the quarters formerly occupied by Miss Jones' store in the south corner of the square. Said The News,

"The building...has been redecorated for the new occupants, and Mr. Emerick, owner of Nu-Art Studio, states that in the new and more spacious location, the firm will be better prepared to offer a more complete service than in the past."
Mr. & Mrs. W.R. Wooten sold their Triangle grocery store in late 1945 or very early 1946 and shortly thereafter, Mr. Emerick sold his lease for the main floor of Murray Building to them and moved his photography studio to the second floor.


Less than a month later, Mr. Emerick sold Nu-Art to Joseph "Jo" Allison, recently returned home after spending three years in military service.

(At some point, Mr. Allison moved the Studio to the hotel on the exit corner of Greensburg Street and the square, and early May 1949 found a paid announcement about the opening of the Columbia Hobby Shop, with "A complete line of supplies for the model builder," located in the "Murray building above Wooten's Department Store." It drew mention in the paper only a handful of times -- twice more in May, and twice in December when "closing out" notices appeared.)

The advertisement for Nu-Art shown here appeared in The News 80 years ago this week -- August 11, 1943.
