Green Ridge in the 1930s--My Great Grandfather's Gas Station

I think the title says it all...or most of it.  This is an old, family photography of Green Ridge, Missouri in the early 1930s.  Out if front of the service station is my great-grandfather, William Fine Kendrick.  I guess by this point in the depression, farming was just not paying any longer, so he went into the gasoline business.  I don't think the building is there anymore...pity, as service stations no longer possess this much style or grace.
