Walter Kelly, owner of Aaborn Disposal Co., and proposer of the plant, says he hopes to locate his new solvent recovery company near Rte. 93 in Somerville...
With careful, patient tuning, it reaches out beyond Rte. 128, beyond Albany, beyond Niagara Falls, beyond Cleveland, beyond Toledo, all the way to the self-proclaimed "Paris of the Southeastern corner of lower Michigan," to the clear channel voice of the Great Lakes, radio 760, WJR, Detroit...
