The story
In 1965 Pieper’s North Star Service Station stood on the northeast corner of 2nd and Olive. In 1966 the property was sold to Yetzer’s, and a Yetzer’s store is on the corner today.
The Yetzer name turns up across the association’s photographs. John Yetzer and his son Joe delivered ice from the lake about 1915, and Will Yetzer ran the funeral home at 37 West 1st Street until 1948. Which Yetzer bought this corner is not yet known.
Across 2nd Street, Paul Brown’s Pontiac GMC Truck stood at 208 South Olive in the late 1980s. The Crossings, part of the City Hall complex, stands there now.
