Does anyone know anything about the corporate structure of Lafayette? Is
anyone out there a former employee, especially during the 1950s and 1960s?
Who "absorbed" or bought Lafayette?

Funny, the others reminiscing about NYC and Chicago. But I remember when there
was a big Laughin-Yet store on Comonwealth Ave in Boston, about 1967. I always
assumed Lafayette was a Boston-based outfit, and that was the "mother" store.
Guess I was wrong.

I used to take the subway once in a while and ogle the wares. I cam close to
buying their "inmported" 6m AM transceiver, but ended up mail-ordering and
building the Knight-Kit equivalent instead.

Funny thing is, there was a Radio Shack store of equal size (big) a block away.
