Hi All,

When did William Halligan, Sr., and his partner Toby, first open the south 
Boston store that Bill named "Radio Shack"? Was it in 1934?

This store was moved "down the street" in 1939.

When did Bill Halligan dispose of his interest in the Radio Shack store in 
south Boston? Did he sell out to his partner Toby?

Did Toby, or his son, sell the store to another corporation? Such as Allied 
Electronics? If so, when?

There is some debate going on as to whether Bill Halligan, Sr. started Radio 
Shack first or Hallicrafters first. Thanks for your input.
