The original market, on Dexter and Waverly, had operated for more than 25 years. It was at this store that Norman and Reuben Cottler's slogan — "Where Old Friends Meet to Shop" — was first used. Located in the Wyoming-Curtis Shopping Center, the company's second store celebrated its fifth anniversary with a big sale in 1956. In the spirit of their slogan, the Dexter Davison Markets' anniversary sale k jw,,ikocr host its first annual Legacy of Hope awards gala at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 3, at the Townsend Hotel, Birmingham. A VIP reception starts at 6 p.m. The event includes dinner, auction and awards program. Honorees include Dr. Eva Feldman, the Russell N. DeJong Professor of Neurology at the University of Michigan, and A. Alfred Taubman of Bloomfield Hills, a business entrepre- neur and philanthropist. Feldman is the first director of the A.
