This appeared in the Rock County Herald May 9, 1930:LONG SERVICE STATION NOW BEING REMODELEDStructure is being relocated, super service plant installed and other improvements under way.Preliminary work toward the installation of a super service station is now well under way at the V.A. Long service station at the junction of trunk highways No. 9 and No. 6, in this city. This includes the re-location of the office building farther north on Kniss Avenue, the laying of concrete driveways, and the general improvement of the grounds.Besides moving the station back a little farther from the corner, there are several other alterations that must be made to permit widening the driveways. The confectionery stand that abuts on the sidewalk north of the station will be set in a few feet, and the greasing pit adjoining the north side of the station is to be filled in. Next to the cement driveway, which will clearly be a splendid asset to the station, the foremost improvement in the line of service facilities is a hydraulic hoist that Mr. Long intends to install on a platform directly northwest of the driveway and to the right of the station in its new location. This system of greasing has unquestionable advantages over the old methods because it is faster and cleaner. The new basement and foundation for the station were finished Saturday. Work on the driveway will be under way the fore part of next week, if weather conditions are suitable. Note: This is where the Dairy Queen is now.Donations to the Rock County Historical Endowment Fund can be sent to the Rock County Historical Society, P.O.
