Grant store awaits word on liquidation plan in Bennington
Albert E. Edmundson, manager of the Grant store in Bennington, says he is awaiting instructions from superiors on whether to hold a discount sale or ship stock elsewhere. He notes late autumn delivery troubles but says Christmas sales were helped by discounting old stock. The Bennington store employs 80 people, paid 9595 in property tax last year, and risks losing the tax if new inventory does not arrive by April 1.
