Septcmbor 21. 1973 Environmentalist Chides CMP For Insensitivity' Refinery Risk Slight In N.E.: EPA Official Reef at 194S prices brought hundreds of people into the New Diamond Market in Pittsburgh, Pa., Mon day. A carload of beef went on sale for as low as 99 cents a pound for sirloin. Purchases were limit- ed to five pounds per customer. (L'PI) Glick Wows 'Em In Pittsburgh With Beef At 1940's Prices For old times’ sake? PITTSBURGH. Pa. (AP) - An erti- mated 600 persons besieged Charley Glick's butcher shop before opening Monday. Some had been standing in line outside most of the night. Glick’s attraction to the customers was simple. He was selling steak fer V9 cents a pound, chuck roast and ground beef at 69 cents a pound and short ribs for 59 cents a pound. Some 50,000 pounds of beef at half the usual price. J’ll lose money, but the public de- serves a break. Glick said as be began soiling the meat at what he said were IMS prices. ‘Click's taking a loess and. it's my gain,” said customer Thomas Lawrence. “He’s a nice guy and he’s giving Pitts- burgh a break. ' Click says he cut h»s prices because “peoplo haven’t had a chance to cat meat at today's prices.” A bargain basement sale atmosphere surrounded Click’s meat counter as cus- tomers jostled, shouted and occasionally lost their tempers in taking advantage of the price bargains. Wo got here at 2 a n»., said Bob Skulman, ore of a group of fraternity men from Cornegic-Mcllon University. We've been on a fish ar.d turkey diet for the last two weeks because of the meat eris» and we’re tired cf it. Shut- nun said. He ar.d his fraternity brothers had comped in front of the market’s door through the chilly night, playing cards ar.d typing. We even went to peep shows to pass time. Shulnan said. “We came down here last night and were going to bring sleeping bags,’’ said two housewives waiting in the line which stretched for two blocks. But we decided to wait until this morning,said Margaret Lewis. She and her friend, Jan Copeland, joined the line about 6 a.m. to buy T-bonc steaks. Steak tastes better at 99 cents a pound, Mrs. Lewis said. Glick claims there arc no gimmicks. This i; a carload of USDA top choice grade beef, be said. He says the sale will continue for a couple of days because wo'ro limiting how much a customer can buy to five steaks and five pounds of other cuts.
