Bradlees Opening Described as Crushing Success
Bradlees opened in Callsville to chaotic crowds with 85,000 square feet of merchandise. Police guarded entrances as lines clogged aisles while executives oversaw bagging duties. The scene contrasted with near empty parking at Zayre and Big N as local merchants hoped novelty would fade. The store echoes Stop & Shop layout and Bradlee’s mass merchandise pairing, with cash registers at many departments and a land stabilizing prep long underway.

Electrical Construction To Increase In 1968
New York estimate shows electrical construction reaching 7.8 billion dollars in 1968, up 9 percent from 1965. Growth stems from rising new construction forecasts, higher expenditures, and a larger share of total spending on electrical work. The trend reflects more appliances, automation, and programs boosting lighting and heating systems in homes, plants, and offices.
