Simple....Russell had all of northern Pa.....whear as Don Bruno.had southern pa. & south N.J. & Atlantic City......Bruno controlled everything in phila...had all the unions tied up including my old man @ Keebler cookie co. @ what was then @ G & Hunting Park ave.....it's not there anymore..but Russell held a small but strong hold on Angie....sad 2 say...the 2 were peas in a pod...got along well despite the travel arrangements ...Russell was more powerful in his seat than Don Bruno...BUT they were good friends...I can attest 2 that & so can my mother...Good Night.
