Many hundreds of musicians, most of tjtem taught by “Prof” Wettlaufer between 19J6 and 1966. have flocked to the high school five limes, starting in June 1954. Some are professionals, while others needed to brush up on their musical skills a week or more before going on stage. A news story about the concert appeared in last week's Leader; therefore to avoid duplication III keep my column short. . COMBO (Congress of Members of tlie Band and Orchestra) . is setting a helpful example for undergraduates. Robert J. and Jeanne Raynor, Co-chairmen of COMBO, with 10 committee members plus 10 assistants, gave present students a chance to perform at the June 18 reunion, thereby encourapng them to develop their musical talent. In 1984 COMBO published a booklet about its past activities and this year sold it at the door. Proceeds will go toward scholarahips for high school graduates. • Representatives from the bands at Atkinson School, John W. Dodd Junior High and the senior.high school had an opportun ity to play special setections. Archives of the Band and Orchestras (1936-66) will be donated to Freeport Historical Museum, 350 South Main Street, where' other such articles will also be welcomed. Credit dropped: business up 25% J Jacob Post's Auto Supply Service and Garage, in the triangle on Olive Boulevard (later Sunrise Highway) between Main and Church Streets, reorganized his business on a “pay as you buy” ' basis. He learned within 21 days that the volume of trade'' increased 25 percent. t ' Alt automotive'supplies, parts, etc., were sold for cash at a little above cost price. In return. Post gave his customers the • benefit of wholesale discounts which amounted to from 20 to 25 percent. His price for gasoline was 13 cents per gallon. He also had the agency for Ford, Chevrolet and Oakland automobiles. . (Histoi^n’s Note: I doubt that Post would have gotten those results today. Back'in the early 20th century, customers didn't exptect credit the way they do now). LOUIS I.
