Few people except those who have visited the new filling station recently opened by Gudgel and Matney for the purpose of distributing White Eagle oil and gasoline, realize what a boon this station is to the city.
The building is of Delta white pressed brick. and the workmanship is all by Delta parties. This includes carpenter work, brick work painting and plumbing. J. D. Lawson was the contractor, while the plumbing was done by Chas. Koehler. The floor is cement and the roof is tar slate.
The building is as nearly fireproof as a building can be made. It is furnished with a ladies' rest room, clean, convenient and, comfortable.
Here one will find rockers. reading matter. lavatory and toilet articles as desired, and the White Eagle company invites ladies, especially country ladies and strangers, to be their guests while in town.
The walls of the building are dull white, with dark oak woodwork, while all trimmings carry out the red. white and black of the company's label
The company carries a complete line of lubricating oils, floor oils and gasoline. A novel feature in this connection is the measure which is quart and pint milk bottles. In this way the customer is assured of full measure for his money.
H. A. Jones. district manager was here on the opening day helping the boys get started. The station will be in charge of G. B. Matney. while H. W. McDonald is assistant.
