Historic Ad - Citizens Gas and Coke
posted: Feb. 23, 2007
This ad ran way back in 1955. Did you know that Citizens Gas and Coke Utility once had a store in Broad Ripple? It was next to the post office, where the Egyptian Cafe & Hooka Bar is today (in 2007). When we bought our 1928 house, an incinerator very similar to the one in this ad was in the basement. WOW. Burning trash in your basement - an obscure reference from Square Pegs comes to mind - "totally different head!" -Alan
