And don't forget Lafayette.  They had a store in the Washington, DC suburbs
in Maryland.

Joe,

I remember going to the Olson Radio store on Main Street in Buffalo during
the 1950's, and stocking up on their 'Akrad' products (the name of their
private label line).
Of course, 10 years later Radio Shack came along in the area and swept up a
lot of that business, but at the time it was the only game in town. Either
that, or order stuff from Allied Radio (100 North Western Ave, Chicago) and
wait for the mailman.

Good memories for those of us out in the sticks.

                              Harry K
