Beatty-Cole #1 (From Buckles)



To compliment Rob,s incredible picture I went thru my Beatty-Cole file and came up with these photos but but I'm embarrassed to say I neglected to note the source.
Quite possibly from Jimmy Cole.

Johnny Pugh just told me he started with Beatty Cole in 1961.
And he still is going strong and planning bigger things for Cole Bros.

61 was the 1st year they opened in

Commack & also my 1st year there

The new "Long Island Arena" was

almost complete with banks of old

lights from "The Garden"

Not to be confused with the Whitey

Carlson's "Island Garden Arena" in

West Hempstead also on Long Island

where a few producers mounted same

date "Easter" openings
