       Had a real nice couple on vacation come into the store yesterday. They live in a small town of 63 people and collect a lot of gas and oil signs. They felt it only right to purchase the towns old abandoned gas station when it came up for sale.
No underground gas tanks but a lot of old signs on display inside the building.
      They were looking at an Ideal 55 I had for sale and asked if I had an extra cap catcher as theirs has always been missing.,
(along with the slider rack and coin mech).  But they have been serving cold cans to visitors since they aquired it for free 25 years ago.
       When I asked what brand they had, I almost hit the floor when they told me it was an embossed Orange Crush 55.  wow

       They had no pictures so I hope some members travelling in their area could stop in and fill us in............

I will try and get in there this summer. I have stopped in a couple times, but they were not open. I live just 20 minutes from there. Really nice area.
