Photo 94-OLI-16

Comments

Kac Hine's filling station. Auburn, Missouri on MO State 61, Lincoln County. Expansion on Hwy 61 to 4 lanes closed this place down.

Kac had a pool table in his station. Played many a game with Pete and Floyd. Kac sold fireworks; Remember cherry bomb fights!

Used to get a candy bar for a dine and a 16 once double cola for fifteen cents there, and think I remember gas (full service by the way) for $.29. Kac handled all the money, and many who just stoped while passing by for gas never knew he was totally blind.

Thank you to everyone who helped tell the history of this gas station!
