New business boasts of having bathrooms for both men and women in 1940 HERMISTON HERALD It’s still possible to see a bit of what Hermiston looked like in the days before World War II The Hermiston Herald from July 11, 1940, features a photograph and front page story about a new business preparing to celebrate its grand opening. HISTORY I n s i d e , there is a full-page ad promoting the business, its services and some of the amenities of its new build- ing. Scattered throughout the paper are several other ads from businesses welcoming the new shop to town and congratulating it on its grand opening. The building is still locat- ed on Main Street at the cor- ner of S.E. Third and E. Main streets. Although the building was added on to over the years, the exterior is unmis- takable.

Chevrolet sales and service are the out- standing features of the new concern, with Standard Oil products being used exclu- sively. The station, which is located at the corner of Main and Third streets, greatly adds to the appearance of that sec- tion of the city with its bright white paint visible for some distance. The station has been built by Fred Huber of Pasco and will be in charge of C.L. Hodge of Hermiston.

No prices are included, though. STAFF PHOTO BY GARY L. WEST The 75-year-old former Chevy dealership and service station location on Main Street in Hermiston is now home to 'eÀ ning Details photo studio and stationery store. But several websites say the sale price for a new 1940 Chevrolet Master 85 start- ed at $659 and ranged up to $903. A Chevy Special De- Luxe ranged in price from $720 to $934. That doesn’t sound like much today, does it? But con- sider this was right after the Great Depression in the year right before the U.S. would be drawn into World War II with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. But it still wasn’t a bad price, even when adjust- ed for inÀ ation. The low-end model, with a sticker price of $659 would be the equiva- lent of $11,052.94 today. And the high-end DeLuxe model would cost $15,665.31 when adjusted for inÀ ation to 2015 dollars. Today, the lowest post- ed price for a new Chevrolet in Hermiston is a sale price of $17,046 for a 2015 Sonic hatchback, but it comes with several features not available in 1940, like AM/Stereo with a CD player, MP3 playback and Bluetooth audio streaming plus SiriusXM Satellite Radio and OnStar service, air condi- tioning and power windows. • • • For much of the building’s history, it was home to Sher- rell Chevrolet, which itself is celebrating 70 years in busi- ness this year. Sherrell Chev- rolet moved to a new, larger location on Highway 395 on the north edge of Hermiston in November 2013. Today, the old Chevy deal- ership building is home to De¿ ning Details, which is a photo portrait studio and sta- tionery and gift store at 296 E.

Elder-Friendly Living: Modifying Your Home for Safety TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 3:30 PM - C ONCLUDED No matter when the older person’s home was built and regardless of whether it is modern or traditional in style, it likely was designed for young adults and their families. As adults age their homes also grow older, but most are not updated to accommodate the resident’s changing needs. Home adaptation or modification can provide friendlier elder living so older occupants may continue to life safely in the comfort of their home.
