Owners looking for leisure in closing of clothing store Page 4 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1974 WANT AD RATES BATTALION CLASSIFIED !v By JACK HODGES Staff Writer Two longtime business estab lishments of Bryan-College Station, A. M. Waldrop and Beverley Braley clothing stores, are going out of bus iness. A. M. Waldrop and Company, in business here since before the turn of the century, will close its store in downtown Bryan as well as the one on University Drive at Northgate. Here for 29 years, Beverley Braley will be closed out in January or be fore. "We want to concentrate all of our efforts on the Tours-Travel business and I would like to go into retire ment so^p, Ralph S. Braley, hus band of Beverley Braley said. A. M. Wiildrop company owner, 67 year-old Allister Waldropsaid, *T want to retire to do a little sailing, play tennis, go camping and ride bicycles with my wife. ” A. M. Waldrop was founded in 1896 and the first store was on Main Street in Bryan close to the present locations. The store was founded under a partnership and was called Parks and Waldrop. In 1910 the store became A. M. Waldrop and Co. when Parks decided to go into the furniture business. After A. M. Waldrop Sr. died in 1936, his son, Allister Jr. took over the operations of the College Sta tion store founded in 1927 and the downtown store where it is pres ently located. “There weren t many stores there then and we were one of the first, Waldrop said. "The business has been good ever since we had opened and now that my son is get ting out of law school in May, I will retire,” Waldrop said. The store on University Drive will be sold to the University Book store. They will probably knock out the wall and expand the operation. Waldrop said. The last day of the close out sale at the downtown store was last week. “I am delighted to go into retire ment but will miss all of the loyal patrons,” Waldrop said.

Phone 24tfn K ltfe Examiner says note concealed DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas County associate medical examiner charged Tuesday that a suicide note written by a Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. executive was con cealed from authorities. The suicide note came to light Monday in San Antonio. It attacked high Southwestern Bell employes and told how they sought to influ ence politicians. It was written by T. O. Gravitt, 51, head of all the Bell operations in Texas. He took his life by carbon monoxide poisoning more than a month ago. The note also com plained bitterly of the line of ques tioning by Bell investigators who in terrogated him. Dr. Vincent DiMaio, the as sociate medical examiner who per formed the autopsy on Gravitt, said the suicide note has been turned over to the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office. The San Antonio Express said that the Bell officials first tried to prevent the family from having the note, but turned it over to Gravitt s son at his insistence. DiMaio said officials also re quested samples of Gravitt’s hand writing to compare it with that of the note. Meanwhile, Sen. Ron Glower, D-Garland, said he had dispatched the staff of his Texas Senate Con sumer Affairs subcommittee to San Antonio hunting witnesses for a new round of hearings.

Time: November 26. 1974 at 9:00 a.m. Place Room 211 in the Nagle Bldg. George W. Ktinze Dean of the Graduate College HOUSTON (AP) — An indepen dent oil operator said Tuesday it ap parently is good politics, and bad statesmanship, to oppose reasona ble pricing of natural gas. George P. Mitchell, president of the Texas Independent Producers & Royalty Owners Association, said the logic of maintaining wellhead price controls is inane. Mitchell made his remarks in a statement prepared as a response to recent remarks by Rep. John E. Moss, D-Calif., and an economic- impact report prepared for Moss by the Library of Congress. The report said in part there is little evidence increased prices woidd boost natural gas production as advocates of deregulation con tend. It also contended consumers could pay up to $75.6 million extra for natural gas through 1980 if price controls were removed. “Even though the price of natural gas will rise, we believe the incre mental supplies of natural gas will he less costly to consumers than the cost of alternate supplies of other fuels which will he required to offset the effects of deepening gas shor tage, Mitchell said. One of the obvi ous intentions of the $75.6 million estimate is to frighten consumers, Mitchell said. "But an often unrecognized and unstated fact is that the wellhead price of gas is only a fraction, often in the range of a sixth to an eighth, of the burner tip price paid by con sumers in many major cities, Mitchell said. “Therefore, substantial increases in the wellhead price would be re flected in relatively small percent tage increases for the consumer. In many circumstances, a consumer’s cost would rise less than a third even if the wellhead price were tripled. Such would be the case, he said, because transportation and dis tribution, not the gas itself, com prise the major costs. “Rep. Moss and his Library of Congress failed to give this perspec tive on consumer costs, Mitchell said. Mitchell said the report recog nized that natural gas is under- priced in interstate commerce when cbmpared with other fuels on the basis of energy equivalent. 5-string banjos from $99 95 up at Lange Music Co. 1410 Texas Avenue Bryan 822-2334 4215 JOB OPPORTUNITIES Glen Oak Mobile Home Park Private, Country Living For Rent: Mobile Homes, Mobile Home Spaces 6 miles from campus on Hwy, 30 Call after 5, 846-1865 1971 Firebird, 350-2 barrel, power steering, automatic, air. radio, good rubber.
