Advertising Pioneer Byron Nugent and the Mt. Vernon Start
Editor F. Tromsay recalls early ties to RR Nugent & Bros of St. Louis. In 1879 the senior partner contracted for twelve months of space, locals, and five hundred dollar weekly bills, launching ads from borrowed capital. Byron Nugent built wealth with St. Louis firm, owning store, building, and a villa valued at eighty seven thousand dollars, while many old merchants lament dull trade. Nugent now spends about one hundred thousand dollars yearly on advertising.
