Stores The THeSl?rHtedaj?.e3Ulyr2opl689tT n n , , from page 1 1 has old-time swivel chairs, custom ers can get cold fountain drinks and or meals. Egg breakfasts, hamburgers, french fries, hot dogs, barbecue and cold sandwiches are a few of the favor ites. In addition to Sutton's, another Franklin Street oldtimer is Jeff's Campus Confectionary. Jeff's has been around since 1927, according to its manager, Jim Mousmoules. "We're the oldest business in Chapel Hill that's been owned by one family," he said. Although Mousmoules said they were mainly in the magazine and newspaper business, he said Jeffs also offers cold Coca-Cola, beer, sandwiches and cigarettes. "We sell over 100,000 fountain drinks a year," he said. "It's the good carbonation, the old system." A lot of the customers are regu lars who work on Franklin Street or who run errands there, he said. After serving a lady a cold Coke and ringing up the price on the old time register without her having to say a word, Mousmoules said he "knew what she wanted even before she opened up the door." Mousmoules said that it's the same way they've always remembered it not a thing has changed, not even the name. "Jeff was my mother's brother and he died in 1956, but you know what would happen if I changed the name? No one would come because that's what they're buying," he said. "You don't change something that's suc cessful." Farther down Franklin Street is Huggins Hardware, which has been there for almost 50 years, said Glenn Carver, its manager for 10 years. "We sell almost everything you need for your dorm room," he said. At Huggins, a customer can buy brooms, sewing equipment, toilet articles, book cases, nuts and bolts, kitchen equipment, plants, picture hangers, paint and other general hardware. "We have all the stuff that you forgot to bring to school, and it's cheaper to buy it here than to go home and get it," Carver said. "We also have bunking kits, and we make extra sets of keys with our keymaker, which is very busy each fall." Although Huggins hasn't changed what it's always sold, it has added a few extras, such as costume rentals three years ago. "Halloween is like Mardi Gras for Chapel Hill," he said. Huggins and Special Occasions, a company from Durham that sets up shop in the hardware store, lets the customers create their own image for Halloween with costumes, make up and mop heads and wigs, Carver said. '"We also have a United Postal Service pick-up that started about two years ago which allows students to ship stuff home," Carver said. "It gets the busiest in the fall and it usually lasts for months and months after." According to Carver, service is the reason for the store's success. "When people come in, I don't see them as a customer," he said. "I see them as an old buddy." a I i mam V 1 ?s3-w fm. an riumes in x n r ni r li lj a'xxYi rothi id Yxxxx??V3 iLa i. '-a. a .
