Volz's White Star Service Circa 1937

Notes:

Volz's White Star Service was located on the corner of East Michigan Avenue and North Maple. Christian and Lydia Volz were owners. Chris Volz is standing by the gas pumps. White Star Gasoline was the forerunner to Mobilgas (Socony Vacuum Oil Company). The car and occupant are unidentified. The year the photo was taken was around 1937.; Chris and Lydia Volz moved from Ann Arbor to Saline in 1928. They temporarily lived in the Bowen house across the street. They purchased the property from the corner east to the Carl Kluwe residence. They built Five Point Place restaurant and later lived in the 100-year-old house just east of the lunchroom. Chris ran the gas station and Lydia ran the lunchroom and they both were involved in renting the seven cabins to travelers.
