The company filed for protection from creditors in October 1975, but its attempt to continue operating failed.

The collapse ended a business that had started with one Massachusetts store in 1906 and grown into a nationwide chain with more than a thousand locations.

Photo by Tyler A. McNeil, via Wikimedia Commons, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
