JUNE 28. 1956 Modern Station Started Monday For Pendleton A complete rebuilding project started Monday of this week at Verne Pendleton’s Mobilgas and Mobiloil service station at the corner of Pine and Front streets. A new’, modern all-steel sta tion will be erected on the com er lot to replace the present frame structure, which was built 20 years ago in 1936. The rebuilding is being done by Armin Richter, Medford con tractor, under arrangement with General Petroleum Corp. Pendleton, who began operat ing the station on January 1, 1929, reported that the new sta tion will include two service bays. One will be used as a work area and the other will be used for the lubrication rack. A car washing pad will be constructed outside the build ing. Two pump islands will fin ish off the station. The new station will be moved farther south on the present lot and the entranceways will be altered slightly. One new feature pointed out by Pendleton will be that one central pump will be located at the storage tank and the pumps on the two islands will actually be metering stations. Pendleton said this feature will do away with noise at the pump islands. It is expected that the pro ject will be completed in 60 to 90 days. Wednesday Holiday! Help-Help-Help!
