PROCRESS This was all that remained Friday of the once proud Union Oil Service Station at South Stephens and Lane Streets. The station, built about 1920, was one of the oldest, if not the oldest, service stations in Roseburg. Constructed of reinforced concrete, it was a sturdy building, but not modern, and such buildings cannot stand in the way of progress. It had to be moved to be replaced by you guessed it a new modern super service station, which the com pany will erect at an estimated $15,000 cost. Hamilton Construction Company has the con tract for wrecking the old station and constructing the new, double bay, super station with heated rest rooms and hot water. About 60 days will be required for completion. Uperator Don Johnson is vacationing meanwhile in Nebraska. (Picture by Paul Jenkins.) 1 usJk.mgrTm"l Fixing flats is no fun . . . . TRAD!
