Town’s service station

This 1948 photo was taken in Republic, Wash. Stewart Chevrolet occupied the building, owned by Bill Stewart. After about 10 years of operation, Stewart sold out to Louie Dragnich in 1955, who renamed the business Dragnich Chevrolet. The building since has been converted to a Mexican restaurant.
