Show The National Enterprise, October 20, 1976 Page twelve Allied Van Lines to Expand Operating Authority by Acquisition BROADVIEW, 111. Allied Van Lines Inc. (OTC 3.00, 3.75) has agreed in principle to acquire Eleveld Chicago Furniture Service, Inc., a carrier of new furniture, store fixtures, and related commodities. According to Allied's general counsel, Terry Fewell, the authorities which Allied intends to purchase from Eleveld will permit them to operate in every state of the union. Revenues generated from Eleveld operations, he said, will be an insignificant contribution to Allied's financial picture. Allied recorded total income for the first half of 1976 of $78 million. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed but Fewell said he expects the agreement will be signed within three weeks. The acquisition is subject to approval by the Interstate Commerce Com mission.

If all are reshares of Glar-Ba- n ceived, Mark IV said the cost of the purchase under the new terms would be $6 million compared with $4.3 million under last week's offer.
