Fred Woolbert Brightens
Triangle At Trucksville
One of the busiest places in Trucks-
| ville these days is Fred Woolbert's
| Sinclair Station. Fred has completely
| renovated the place since he took it
| over last spring and has added consid-
lerable new equipment so that today his
|location is known as the “busy Tri-
angle at Trucksville.” The station is
{located in the triangle where the
| Luzerne-Trucksville highway branches
[of to Dallas and Fernbrook.
Fred knows the automobile service
{business from “A” to “Z”, His years of
lexperience with Stull Brothers in
| Kingston stands him in good stead. His
station is equipped with the most mod-
jer greasing, washing ' and : polishing
equipment. But perhaps the largest
single factor in growth of his business
is the service which every employee
renders the customer.
