Day and Night

November 21, 1968, N-M Daily Northwestern
I remember this business; I believe it was run out of the old Skelly gas station across from the post office, one of many businesses that went through that location like a revolving door.  That blurb about the automatic breathing apparatus sounds like something for undersea divers.

  1. Was this next to the Holiday gas station? I don't remember the ambulance business, as I thought the FD handled ambulance calls. I do remember that ambulances scared the hell out of me until I was about 12 years old. We lived near hwy. 47, and those things would go screaming by at night and give me nightmares. Of course, me watching the twilight zone and outer limits might had something to do with it too.

  2. I believe that building started out as my grandfathers butcher shop a long long time ago.
