"The attractive, dark brown stained modern building has the gas pumps out front, and the high-on-a-pole Standard sign. But it is indeed far more than a place to buy gasoline.

"The Marshall Hamm's of Lyle operate the Chevron station. Inside the station there are attractive displays of tools and hardware and rows and rows of shelves for parts, and many catalogs to locate them or order more, for the Hamms handle the whole Massy-Ferguson line of farm and industrial equipment, and service them too. In the large side room are two big office desks where the women of the family handle the bookkeeping."
