Ahoskie will soon have a modern gasoline filling station. Bill Brewer is now erecting a station on the corner lot where the State Highway intersects the Ahoskie-St. Johns road. Rustic effect will be carried out, and posts have already been buried in the ground. Other timbers for its construction will be on the lot by the first of next week, according to Brewer.
It will be ready for use probably along the same lines as the one recently erected in Winton by W.M. Elley within two weeks. Two 15-foot driveways will enter the shelter, which will be built over the tanks, one from each of the roads.
The location is an ideal place for the motorist, being on the two principal highways entering town and on the State Highway, where it can serve through motorists.
