Carol Koontz Heath sent this photo to The Icon recently. Imagine for a moment that a Sinclair service station is at the corner of College and Main (specifically in the front lawn of the Bluffton Public Library). If you can imagine such a scene in December in the 1950s, this is what you'd see. The Koontz brothers - Joe and Jack - operated the station. This was the Christmas decoration on the top of the station. Gas was, oh, 30 cents a gallon. For more details, see Mary Koontz at the senior citizen center.
