new building is one of

dent seems to grow stronger as one moves north
through OklahomaCity.
Alison Robertson of Additions in North Park Mall
in Oklahoma City reports that the store has been out
of Jelly Bellies for three weeks.
"All the distributors are out, and the first shipment
isdue in (he middleof May,” Robertson said.
“Just about everybody buys Jelly Bellies,
said, and then went on to attribute the jelly bean
boom to Reagan’s election
"We used to sell 70or 80 pounds per week and now
sell 400.”
The price of jelly beans at Additions is >3.20.
Robertson said that Jelly Belly jelly beans are made
of natural ingredients, and come in a variety ot
flavors, including Strawberry Daquiri, Pina Colada
andJalepeno.
The president’s favorite Jelly Belly flavor, and also
the most popular of the people, is licorice, Helen

The jelly bean business at Sullivan’s store is

CORPUS C HRISTI, Texas (AP) - Three people
were killed, at least two were missing and 27 were in-
jured Tuesday when explosions tore through a water
front gram elevator, officials said.
The blast, which occurred at about 3:15 p.m. CST,
reduced the Corpus Christi Public Gram Elevator to
burning rubble and triggered numerous grass fires,
authorities said.
A lire department spokesman said there were several
minor secondary explosions, but they caused no addi-

With Ronald Reagan’s election last November, the
country took a sharp turn to the right—right into the
local candy store
Jelly bean business is booming, with candy stores
in the Oklahoma City area reporting spot shortages
and major difficulties keeping the president’s
favorite candy in stock.
The most popular jelly bean in the nation right now
is the president’s brand, Jelly Belly, manufactured by
GoleitzCandyCo. in California.
Some candy store owners attribute the recent rise in
jelly bean popularity to the upcoming Easter season,
but most agree that the president’s affinity for jelly
beans helped boost their sales.
Salutations, Inc , a candy store in Norman, sells
jelly beans only during Easter season, and reports
that sales have been going well. Morrow’s Nut House
in Sooner Fashion Mall carries jelly beans all year
long at S3 60 per pound Reggine Peters of Morrow’s
said that the candy store is selling jelly beans so fast
that it's in danger of runnmgout.
"People have been buying them ever since Reagan
was elected,” she said
"We’ve got just one jar full of jelly beans to last a
week, and then our next shipment will be Jelly
Bellies,” she said
She said Jelly Bellies are hard to find People are
asking specifically for them.
"Right now, we’re out of jelly beans,” Merle
Christopher of Mac’s Wholesale, a candy wholesaler,
said.
"We’re selling mostly because of Easter,” she said.
"Before now, they weren’t moving very fast. We pro-
bably won't get another shipment in before Easter,
though."
