Health Center to Open in Fall of '61 In Spite of Last Minute Alterations

The Brothers Cahaly, two more victims of the new ten-story Health Center, face their April eviction date "with no grudge or malice," for when they moved their grocery business into 79 Mt. Auburn St. nine years ago they knew they might have to move out on two months notice.

Mike (the older brother) and Ralph Cahaly estimate that 90 per cent of their business comes from Harvard undergraduates. So dedicated are the two to the College trade that on snowy January final examination mornings they sell huge handfuls of three-penny postcards, at no profit to themselves, to students who have invariably forgotten to trek to the postoffice.

"Cahaly Bros." will remain on the store sign right up until April, but the brothers have not decided what they will do after that date. There are plenty of locations further away, but the Cahalys want to stay near the Square. "Maybe we'll set up a tent," Mike suggested.
