    Suggesting that this may be just the first act in a larger play, Larry Carlson, president of Fitzpatrick Electric Supply Co., Muskegon, Mich., said Fitzpatrick has acquired Langstadt Electric Supply Co., Appleton, Wis. Carlson would not comment on why Fitzpatrick Electric Supply bought Langstadt Electric Supply.

Langstadt Electric Supply, with $24.6 million in 1996 sales, was 222nd.
