Old home town – 40 years ago today

Burglars hit the Weaver Department Store here over the weekend and made off with an undetermined amount of the more expensive clothing from the racks. Walter Lister, assistant manager, said an inventory would be needed to determine the loss but said it would run high. Entrance was gained through a skylight grate.

Rusty’s Hillcrest Supermarket reopened after extensive renovation following a March 13 fire that had caused nearly $600,000 in loss and damage.
