The land and buildings of the Baird North Co. at 861 Broad St., formerly one of the largest mail order jewelry houses in New England, has been sold to Hassenfeld Bros., Inc. , 124 Dorrance St., leather goods and novelties manufacturers. Since the plant closed last spring shortly before the retail division of the concern was purchased by Jason Weiler & Sons, jewelers, Boston, the large building has been idle. The plant will be reopened, however, and occupied by the Hassenfeld concern.
