This picture in more than likely from Ellen's House of Fashion owned by Ellen Ripley. This store opened in 1965 at 213 East Bremer and was in operation until 1970. After that, Liscum's Western store moved in and was three for many years. Previous to 1965 Dorthey's Clothing Closet was in this location.
Ellen O'Meara (Ripley) later moved to Minnesota and ran similar clothing stores. See find a grave memorial below.
