Spencer Station
In addition to a general store and a hairdresser, there was a gas station in town. First, the gas was sold under the Tydol brand, before 66 contracts were later signed with Philips.
Francis and Marie Lynn Ryan from Kansas recently bought the entire place and spent a lot of time and energy in the restoration, especially in the gas station. All signs and equipment are from their own collection.
Quenton and Cathy Stockham added an antique police car to the collection, though Spencer has always been too small to run their own police station. The station was closed, when we passed by.
