since those days or as Max
says, "We have to do more
business now in any given
day than we figured on doing
in a month at that tune."
SEVEN TIMES AS BIG
When the store was first
started it had a selling area
of not more than 1000 square
feet and today that has
expanded to around 7000
square feet,
And there's been a great
turnover in travelling sales-
' men, The only one still
calling at Oldfields who
called when they first opened
their doors is Jim Valiance of
London.
Today the business has
expanded to include things
like toys, games, more appli-
ances and where he used to
have a stock of machine bolts
and carriage bolts, today,
Max says; he would have to
have fine thread, coarse
thread and different grades
of bolts. This line of expan-
sion is because of the larger
and more intricate farming
machinery people are using
today.
PLUMBING ENLARGED
The plumbing section has
also been greatly enlarged
from what it used to be.
Oldfields used to carry only
galvanized pipe but today
they carry that as well as
copper and three different
types of plastic pipe, ranging
in size from 1/8 of an inch up
to 4 inches.
And as the times have
changed so has the way in
which merchandise is pur-
chased. It used to be that
every other person who
walked, through the door of
the store was a salesman
from some firm or other, but
now Max says there's a great
advantage in belonging to a
group like Pro Hardware
where 90 per cent of the
goods are bought through a
buying group. As Oldfields
belongs to the Pro chain,
they use the same price tags
as the city stores do, so are
quite competitive with them.
And now all the ordering is
done by computer. Orders
are all punched into a mini-
computer which is then
attached to the telephone.
"An order that used to
take- anywhere from 20-25
minutes on long distance
telephone is in there in about
20 second. Accounts receiv-
able are done in the same
way. This takes a lot of the
personal aspect away from
the business which is one
thing we can regret about it,
but it's just the way of the
times," Max said.
Oldfields have one other time and that is that they're
plan for expansion at this hoping to put in a gaiden
centre nest. summer.

XHE Cassette Test Report
In summary, the test laboratory found some measurable advantages when testing BASF Ferro Super LH1 and Maxell UDXL 1. There
were some negative measurements in testing TDK AD. No audible advantage was sensed when comparing these cassettes to
Audio Magnetics XHE.
Conclusion
Audio Magnetics XHE cassettes are audibly comparable to the other high performance tapes.
Therefore, XHE cassettes at their retail price are considerably superior in dollar for dollar value.
