Lincoln Highway travelers passing through Ames in the summer of 1938 could get their automobile filled with Mobilgas while enjoying popcorn, root beer or ice cream at the Dutch Mill.  Turl Shorty Hohenshell operated his Mobil Service Station (223 Lincoln Way) at the intersection of Kellogg and Lincoln Way until 1957.  This photo looks east along Lincoln Way from near the Kellogg corner.  Notice the popcorn stand behind the pole and the many houses that line the highway between Duff and Kellogg.

This portion of a 1947 Sanborn Insurance map shows the outline of Hohenshell's Service Station.  The outline of the Dutch Mill has been added to show its position relative to the filling station.

The house to the north of Hohenshell's Mobilgas has the address of 104 Kellogg.  The brick building visible at 108 Kellogg is the old Moore's Dairy site.  It bears the sign, Moore Bros. Dairy ICE CREAM  MILK CREAM.  The new Moore's Bros. Dairy building at the intersection of Clark and 5th was under construction from 1937 to 1938.

Two blades of the Dutch Mill are barely visible at top right in this view that faces westerly towards Kellogg Avenue.  The sign next to the popcorn stand says, STOP HERE   We have O'Neil's Velvet Ice Cream.  Learn more about O'Neil Dairy. The filling station visible beyond Kellogg is Koos Oil Company (later, Pauls Standard Service), 303 Lincoln Way.  Another filling station at 311 Lincoln Way is also visible beyond the auto at left.  The brick structure beyond Kellogg in the center of the photo is the Ames Dr. Pepper Bottling Company, 105 Kellogg (see 1947 map portion below).
