A special award was presented June 29, 1973 to Lional Schiszik, who owns and operates Lional’s Service Station in Curtiss.

The award, a plaque bearing two rare silver dollar (one Eisenhower Dollar and one Liberty Head Dollar), two Kennedy Half-Dollars, and a specially minted commemorative coins set in an automotive engine design, was presented for exceptional customer service by a representative of the Gates Rubber Company.

The Denver base rubber company sponsors this nation-wide contest (now in it s41st years) to reward service station personnel who provide exceptional customer service.

A fleet of “Gates Mystery Cars” regularly travels across the country, stopping at services stations. Each “Mystery Car” has a purposely installed, worn fan belt. Award plaques are presented to station personnel who notice the defective belt and offer to replace it.
