Homer Fuller and Bob Thompson
ROYAL
The World's First
Minute man service with a
smile is the kind dispensed at
Bob’s Union Service station at
the corner of Bridge street and
Weed avenue which is own.-d
and operated by Bob Thompson
with the able assistance of Homer
Fuller. In addition to dispensing
Union Oil company gasoline, both
Royal 76 and 7600, and other
Union Oil products, they also
service cars for lube jobs, tire
work and minor mechanical re-
pairs, And, when they get real
busy, if the Union Oil distn-
butor for Vernonia, Loel Roberts,
and his assistant, Phil Shafer,
happen to be around, they get
pressed into service dispensing
gasoline and oil or changing tires
or answering the call of a lady
in distress whose car has develop
ed a flat tire out on the road.
Mr. Thompson came to Ver-
nonia in 1939 from Valley City,
North Dakota where he was born
and raised. His first job here
was at Vernonia Auto company
where he started as grease boy
and worked up to mechanic after
which he did body and fender
work for them for about a year
and a half and was in the parts
After
department for a year,
leaving Vernonia Auto in 1945.
he hauled logs for Crown Zeller-
bach for four years, then hauled
for gypos until in 1951. Also, in
1945 he became the owner of the
school bus on the Stoney Point
run which he operated for four
years with his wife, Eleanor, do­
ing most of the driving. In 1949
he sold the bus to Marion Steers.
In 1951, he bought the service
station from Jake Berger and has
operated it for the past six years.

sition of the Red Curl bus and
th-- contract for the Pelsble-Creek
loop run, he is once more in the
school bus business, too.
Mr. Thompson had married in
North Dakota and when he came
here had a daughter. Deloris, six
and a baby daughter, Joyce only
two weeks old. Mrs. Thompson
joined him here a month later
and later they added another
daughter, Janice. Delons is now
Mrs. Donald Webb and has added
two grandchildren to Bob’s list of
relatives and Joyce is now Mrs.
Gene Weller. They recently re­
turned from Virginia where Gene
was in army training and will De
here until November 18 when he
expects to be sent to Alaska.
His family has had a definite
leaning toward royalty for De
loris, better known as DeeDee,
was May Queen her senior year
at Vernonia high school (1952)
and the youngest daughter, Ja
nice, was home coming que -n
last week end.
Bob’s Union Service is conven­
iently located on Vernonia’s mam
street and is a handy place tor
cars to be left for servicing
while the owners do their mar­
keting. In addition to the gas
and oil products, he also has ant--
freeze, Hood tires and batteries
and a full line of accessories. Hi
specializes in prompt, courteous
and efficient service.
Bob has been active in civic-
affairs and was a member of
the Vernonia fire department for
17 years, and fire chief for three
years
He is a member of the
Chamber of Commerce and won
himself some distinction as a pa­
rade organizer with his- work on
both the clean up and July 4
TRULY
parades held this year. He was
a member of the city council
a year, a position which he
signed only recently when he be
came county commissioner, Hi
political -career was short lived
because other opportunities pre­
sented themselves that looked
like better financial bets for a
secure future.
For recreation, his interest cen­
ters mainly in horses, He says
it has always been his greatest
interest and he owned his first
horse when he was 11, and he
had earned the money and bough*
it himself. He now owns two
mares and a colt, (the well-
known Hi-Top that almost stole
the show the day of his daugh­
ter Joyce's wedding) and is pre­
sident of the Vernonia Ridge Rid­
ers club which at present has 30
members. He and his club were
responsible for the very fine
horse show entertainment thaf
was a feature of the July Fourth
celebration.
Bob has a firm faith in the
future of Vernonia and feels that
there is a good future ahead it
the residents of Vernonia buckle
in and make it so. He feels that
it w^ll take an optimistic view
on the part of everyone with a
chin-up attitude rather than a
give-up defeatist one. He intends
to do his part to make this a
good community in which to live.
And, the example of the Union
Minute Man, service with a smile
is one that might help everyone,
merchant and customer alike, tu
encourage a more optimistic at­
titude and to stimulate trade at
home where the friendly service
of those you know is always best.
