** Went there several times a week from 1973 till the finish of business in the late 80s. I even worked behind the counter for one day in 1973 and topped the sales list - Julie did the adding up at the end of each day and came over to tell me personally. There and then, Norm offered me a permanent job and was quite forceful about it. Since I was working for his son Bill at the time (Edge Electrix) I foolishly declined. ** I recall the conversation, Norm had added my invoice ( plus 27.5% sales tax ) and it came to $19.44.
Me: " 1944, ah that was a good year " .
Norm: " Don't say that - 1944 was a terrible year !!
I was in the Army driving bloody tanks back then ".
** Sorry, chucked all my yellow invoices decades ago.... Phil
