......There is one lowly gas station to serve all the residents....Ken Anderson
Ken, Didn't Joe Larson have a gas station that Ed Sawyer wanted to buy...and wasn't there talk about a gas station being built somewhere else in town, (not sure about that one)...but like you Ken, the closest town to where i lived had a population of 500 and two gas stations and school bus drivers own both of them...with six school buses running every day and the stations being at a major intersection of two state highways I think they probably did pretty well although there was a town 2 miles across the river that had 4 gas stations.... On another note maybe I notice too much but in the episode where Roger Hanover writes to Aunt Bee..Andy asks her if Roger was married....she is holding the one page letter and says, "I think he said he never married." Now if that information was in the one page letter why would she say.."I think he said"...rather than quote from the letter. And she hadn't heard from him in 20 years so how would she know either way if it weren't in the letter. secondly when the shoe salesman comes to town, Wilbur Finch, he introduces himself to Aunt Bee and Emma Watson and gives them his business card...Andy comes in and ask the ladies who the man was and they tell him he is a shoe sales man. Now if Andy had seen him leave the drugstore he had to have seen him carrying 16 boxes what appeared to be shoes...then when Wilbur comes down the stairs in the hotel he is carrying the shoes and Andy had to see them. Finally if he were a talent scout why in the world would he masquerade as a shoe salesman. Curious to say the least.
