STAGING DOUBLE CELEBRATION: Fred Widmayer, Manchester hardware merchant for more than five decades, is celebrating both his 59th year in business and his 81st birthday today by opening a new, two-story, hardware store. Mr. Widmayer, above, stands behind the brightly-polished counter of the recently-completed store, waits expectantly for an old patron but a new customer for a new store.
