  1. trying to get a better pic of the buliding not sure when that pic was taken. But i do rember that when thecouier express was in the building you could see the printing press through the windows. now there was another paper in town at the time (dubois had 3 papers back then). still looking in to it. Im not fron this town but one 30 miles north but i moved here in the 70s knew a little about the town so looking in to this has been interisting. I did find out that there was a car built here in 1909-1910 called the Keystone. Only 2 know to exist today one is in pittsburg the other ? more info on that later.
  2. found out some more info on pic . it is of the DuBois Hotel built appx 1888. but the newspaper did not move in untill 1961 from what i have read. The walkin door is the front of the building both windows are street level, to the right of the door there were a set of steps into the lobby it was built on a hill. here is a pic from 1925 that showes some of the buildingtrying to get better pic and better info
  3. If the egr valve was ful of carbon then i would start at the begining check the plugs and wires cap and rotor in other words i would do a complete tune up then take it for a long drive to get it good and hot to burn off the carbon on the valves and maybe put in some combustion chamber cleaner
  4. Found out a little more about the picture, I live right next door to the goodwill fire volenteer fire company so ask there , it is deffently the courier express office building thewindow that most of the people are standing is the front of the building there use to be an entrance off the side street for trucks to pick up the papers ( the building was on a corner, long ave&high street) thats how the car got n there. The person in the back of the car is possiably J.S. Gray the owner of the paper. on the left of the pic aginst the wall is a large radio, I was told that the radio is still around in the histoical society offfice. LL Stineberg was the photographer that took the photo he had an studio in the building . I will go to the historical society as soon as they open and try and get more info. I was told that ther was a studebaker dealre ship in town maybe Mr Gray bought a new car? I will try to find out asap

  8. The guy that works next to in the garage replaced the ebrake shoes and the brake rotor on a 3500 dodge truck the other day , the truck was towed back to the shop the next day with less than 100 miles on it.
