Gentlemen:
An inspection of the Standard station on May 14, 1946,

three weeks and found that he could not stand the work.

in the army three and one half years, of which two and
one half were served in the Southwest Pacific.
An inspection the same as the above date of the D. X.
station reveals that it is open and that there is a tire
repair business operating. A conversation with the
proprietor revealed that the owner of the property, Mr.
Cecil Meinen, gave Al W. Lockie permission to operate a

another location. They have been notified to close at
once which they agreed to do.
Yours respectfully,
