Silver Valley Girl: How Did Three Toots Get Name?

Silver Valley Girl/Silver Valley Stories): My brother, Raymond Pert, had/has a student at Lane Community College whose grandparents or great grandparents (some relative anyway) helped run a small gas station at the bottom of Page, a small town between Pinehurst and Smelterville. The name of the station was Three Toots. When it was operating, it was located on then Idaho Highway #10. Now we just call it "the old road."

Question: Does anyone know the real story of how this gas station was named?
