It was in Columbus, Indiana and it was called Bill's Self Serve. For those of you familiar with the Columbus, IN area here are more details as to where the business would have been: Kay Mfg and Eads Service station were across the street. Mr. Carl Fox bought the "triangle" as defined by 25th St., Beam Rd. and US 31. There were 3 houses along 25th street. Bill's Self Serve was on the corner of Beam and 25th. The land was later sold to the the folks that built the Bob-o-Link (Bob Beirline ?) and later the Columbus Motel. Bill's Self Serve later became Allen's (I believe) or (Bob Harrell's) Self Serve when it was sold around 1950. Bill's Self Serve was ran by William (Bill) Cooper. Any help or guidance on how to find this information would be appreciated. Malynda
