Past Businesses - 1960's
Buttrey’s Ladies Wear – Downtown Minot on main Street…… Grand Photography Studio – 108 west Central Avenue …… Coast to Coast Store – 14 First Avenue SW. Coast to Coast started in business in 1957. They were home owned and home operated. The owner of the Minot store was Glenn Simard. Coast to Coast carried items for the farm, sportsman, and the car. …. Hoiland’s Floor Service – Odin Hoiland was the manager and owner. Hoiland’s Floor Service was located on Highway 2 East and specialized in ceramic and plastic wall tile, Armstrong Linoleum, and Formica Counter tops.. They did both commercial and residential installations. Below is a picture of Main Street looking south in the 1950's
I know of no other 1958(?) Olds 98 with giant bug screen than my grandfather's, who had a jewelry store on Main a block south (107 S Main) of this car. I wish this was a color photo to see if the car is green.
