At Chiefs' Conoco station, he made BIG bucks, doin' REPAIRS ! Gas profit, was "maybe" 2 cents a gallon. Momma I were "CHEEP HELP" & ran the pumps. Uncle Mutt would help us on busy Saturdays. Chief was the ONLY one in town that fixed BIG TRUCK tires $$$$$$$$'s & the only one with a FAST BATTERY CHARGER! Yes, I'm older than DIRT.
