An article in the newspaper on Thursday,
September 27, 1962 proclaimed the opening of a new Westland gas station on the
magic Mile in Minot, (the Magic Mile being South Broadway). The proprietor of
the new station was Leo Jundt. Prior to operating this location, Jundt operated
a Westland Station on East Central Avenue. The new station on South Broadway
was built at a cost of $85,000.00. It featured a 25 foot canopy in the front
that extended over the gas pumps. The station also housed two service bays,
each with a single post hoist. The “Selectane” gas pumps were new in design and
could dispense nine different grades of gasoline to match the gas to the octane
requirements of the vehicle.
