ca. 1942. Henry C. and Margaret Turner owned Turner's Cash Market, a Red & White Food Store franchise. They provided rural shoppers with groceries, hardware, and gasoline plus the convenience of a first aid station and Post Office. In 1942-43, Turner's was one of 90 local Maxwell service stations that featured Mobil products. The building was built in 1929 by Gordon L. Foy as the Stop & Shop; Foy's sister Anna was the Lacey post master from 1915 to 1954. Today, the building is home to Allstate Insurance, Top Choice Janitorial Supply and Domino's Pizza.

This was how Buck Morgan & Son's Autotorium at 632 Broadway appeared in June of 1946. The station was located at the corner of 7th and Broadway, across the street from the Elks Temple. The one-stop service and repair station was owned and operated by William "Buck" Morgan and his son Jack W. Morgan. "Buck," who had over 20 years in the automobile repair business, ran the repair shop. They specialized in Buick repair, since "Buck" had spent the previous 16 years working at Mueller-Harkins. Aside from the repair business, they also offered fuel and auto supplies and did lubrication, washing, polishing, storage and parking of automobiles. The second floor was a parking garage accessible by the alley between St. Helens & Broadway. The building at 632 Broadway was sold in the late 1960s and "Buck" Morgan retired. Jack Morgan continued in the automobile business, selling Buicks instead of servicing them. (TNT 12/1/1946, pg.
