(8) 701 E. Third Street

701 E Third"Jerry Killigrew's blacksmith's shop was on this lot in the 1880s. Roper Brothers built the building in the 1920s and were the agency for Chevrolet cars and later Ford cars. Paul Heuring was the next owner and sold Fords. When Heuring relocated, Express Auto opened."

♦ This circa-1928 image shows the newly built home of the Roper brothers' auto sales business.
♦ The Paul Heuring Ford dealership, probably circa 1968 (and here is the Heuring "Bargain Lot," exact location unknown).
♦ Outside Express Auto Supply in 1972; inside in 1975.

Above comment is correct. In the 1950's there were reindeer in the lot before Christmas! Great memory. My cousins lived at 215 New Street where I spent a lot of time so we were frequent visitors.
