New Gas Station Planned for Graettinger Iowa

A modern Community Service Station will be erected in Graettinger by the Davenport Iowa company, with thirty contracts issued in the district. The project includes a brick two story station, two supply tanks, an auto delivery fleet, rural service, and a roadside guide system to direct tourists along roads to Graettinger and neighboring towns. The plan, backed by local banker John Jertson, will revitalize the vacant corner south of the Hawkeye theatre, creating a new service hub for oil, gas, and convenience needs.
