The Peters Vickers gas station was located on SW 4th St. across from the fairgrounds. E. H. Peters opened his Midland Service Station there in 1957. By the time it was remodeled in 1961 it was a Vickers station. During its 2 day grand opening in October patrons buying $8 or more of gas received a dressed chicken.
