on the list of former Berea busineses, I can remember Baker-Williams Buick and American Motors, they only moved after they took on the Oldsmobile line and General Motors told them they had to move to a "larger" market which of course men't Richmond. It is my understanding to this day they did not want to leave Berea, it was only a business move. |
