Stores switch from paper to party brands in region
The Party Experience buys Paper Cutter chain from Fay's Inc for 14 million dollars and plans to rebrand 40 to 170 stores in New York and New England by September. The move consolidates stores under one name as Fay's sells its drugstore chain to Eckerd and J C Penney, while Wegmans experiments with a temporary Chase Pitkin garden store at its Syracuse location.

Woman officials cut loss forecast for 1997 Mid-State Raceway
Mid-State Raceway Inc expects to lose about 300000 this year after cutting costs. It had projected 599000 loss for 1997 but cost savings reduced the figure. 15 to 20 maintenance and office staff were laid off. Managers took pay cuts and directors paused pay. Negotiations with Oneida County for a payment in lieu of taxes could drop annual property taxes from 47000 to 15600, saving about 150000 over five years.
