TO ERECT GAS FILLING STATION ON NINTH ST.
Mrs. William Collins and Harry Noris have announced that they will erect on the
Thalman lot on east Ninth street a gasoline and oil filling station which will be operated by the
latter. The business will be of an independent nature, altho it had been intimated previously that a
company was to purchase the lot above mentioned where a station would be built. The local
people expect to have the station ready for business at a very early date.

service to be under the direct management of L. C. (Clay) Sheets.
The tanks which are located on the Nickle Plate Railroad have a combined capacity of
32,000 gallons. The larger tank of 20,000 gallons for gasoline and the smaller tank of 12,000
