Quality Collision opens in Noxen BY CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer The Chief E-Z Liner II, the latest in equipment to straighten bent car frames, has come to the Back Mountain. Steve Kaminstein, owner of Quality Collision, Inc. in Noxen, concentrates on repairing wrecked cars from start to finish. Kamen- stein opened his collision repair shop on Route 29, Noxen, about two months ago in the former Texaco Station once owned and operated by Earl Crispell. “My wife and I returned to this area from Georgia where I had been for two years. Tammy was formerly from the area and we decided to locate here and open Quality Collision, Inc. I decided on that name because it defines ex- actly what I do. “I use the best material in re- pairing wrecked cars. I have had professional training, have the right tools and I emphasize quality.” Kamenstein, who is I-CAR trained, ASE certified by Auto Service Excellence, a national organization, is also trained and certified by Chief, manufacturers of the Chief E-Z Liner, a unique piece of equipment used at his Quality Collision service. The E-Z Liner uses a multiple and simultaneous pulling method which is designed to reverse the damage done in the collision and return the frame and body of the vehicle to its original form. The special pulling system is excep- tionally important in repairing unit- body ‘X' frame cars which easily receive secondary damage in the slightest of collisions. Quality Collision, Inc. is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Route 29, Noxen, Pa. Calls for information or for repairs may be made to Steve at 298-2019.

Denmon) Center (continued from page 1 ) Borough would not agree due to the expense and loss of property value which would have reduced tax income. In the 1930's street car tracks were removed and a new right of way was built along the path of the former tracks, designated as Route 415, in 1940 or 1941. After that the Main Street was widened and paved and today it is maintained in great part by the Borough road department, although state trucks do the initial plowing each year. The borough road department does the finishing touches. Following the construction of the new Route 415 highway which runs out to Harveys Lake, and Route 309 which runs toTunkhan- nock, many of the business places which at one time lined Main Street moved into small shopping centers that sprung up near the highways. Others were razed to make way for larger and more modern businesses such as the United Penn Bank, previously First National and then Miners National Bank; Fino's Pharmacy, at one time Kuehn's Drug Store; Besecker's Real Es- tate, site of the old street car sta- tion; and the Dallas Post Office, former site of the railroad station. Many of the former buildings are gone, such as Oliver's Car Dealership, which was where the Dallas Borough Building now stands; Bauman'’s Restaurant, now the parking area between the bank and Fino's; and Hislop's Grocery Store which was later to become Ray Daring's Market, first oper- ated on Main Street until he con- structed his new market on the Memorial Highway.
