Bullock S Company

R.H. Macy & Co. will open a temporary Bullock's department store clearance outlet Oct. 11 at the troubled Anaheim Plaza, mall managers said Tuesday. The outlet--at the former site of a Robinson's department store--is only scheduled to stay open for about five weeks. But mall officials hope the drawing power of the Bullock's Close Out center will draw shoppers to the mall's smaller stores.

It was a cultural institution, a luxurious dining room where one could find the real little old lady of Pasadena on any given afternoon. It was a place locked in a time warp of brass chandeliers, white table linens and good manners. A place where tea and an occasional cocktail were served while fashion models strutted on the catwalk that ran through the center of the room. It was a place, in short, where one went to be seen.

It was comforting to note that UC Berkeley mathematician Wu-Yi Hsiang has finally proved the theorem on the most efficient way to stack oranges ("Proof That Oranges and Oranges Mix," Part A, July 31). Is this the kind of research that's funded by the new newspaper sales tax that I pay? JERRY MARTZ Hollywood

Shopping won't be the same for Dory Levi once the Broadway department stores disappear from the Southern California retailing scene. "I'm very sad," said Levi, a 57-year-old Beverly Hills resident, as she took advantage of the latest in a seemingly endless string of sales at the three-story Broadway in Century City on Tuesday. "This is the nicest store with the most competitive prices. When they say something is on sale, it's on sale." News that Los Angeles-based Broadway Stores Inc.

In an attempt to stem its mounting losses, R. H. Macy & Co. said Wednesday that it will close seven poorly performing Macy's department stores, most of them on the East Coast, and the Bullock's in La Habra. The closings, to be completed by Aug. 1, will result in the layoff or reassignment of 1,850 workers and change the face of some communities in which the stores are important retail assets.
