Moto-Rest! Run by J.E. Jackson in the 1954 rural directory, this neat gas station and rest stop was at the corner of Rt 20 and Rt 58, south of Oberlin. Today an ordinary Marathon station replaces the old building, replaced in the 1970s or 80s.

The 1948 Lorain County Rural Directory lists this as Nelson & Keitzmann Motorist. It was Hawkins Motor Rest in 1964 and was Virginia's Motor Rest in 1970 according to Oberlin phone books.
