296 E. Elm Street - 1939-1960

— "Bob's 76 Service, Robert Schatt, owner" —

Mr. Robert "Bob" Schatt purchased a lot at this location in 1938. The lot was bought from a Mr. Tom Glenchur for the purpose of building a "Union Oil" service station.
Bob opened the station in 1939. During World War II, Bob wouldn't drive his own car so he could save his ration stamps for the G.I.'s to use when they came home on leave.
Bob ran the service station with the help of his daughter "Anna Louise" until his death in 1950.
