Cities Service Gasoline Filling Station
The Penn Filling Station opened in 1919 at 1425 W. Locust St. Manager Hugo Schroeder and his wife Lillie lived on site. Though the address number varied at times, it was located on the southeast corner of Locust street and Fillmore Lane at what would eventually be the Riefe's Drive-In restaurant parking lot. It became a Cities Service Oil Station in 1923 and operated as such through 1934. In 1935 it became the Makoben & Bloom filling station. Rollo Makoben would move and open a new filling and service station with Fred Engel at 2025 Hickory Grove Road in 1939. |

 | Rollo Makoben and Fred Engel - August 2, 1950
Pictured is Rollo Makoben and Fred Engel standing outside their Shell service station at 2025 Hickory Grove Road. Engel owned the stock car, which was driven by Bill Spiess. William (Bill) Spiess, Daune Gamber and Ralph Albrecht had all been with Makoben and Engel for a good number of years, making the organization a well-rounded repair shop, specializing in brakes, automatic transmissions and tune-ups. The boys atop the jalopy are Gene Engel, Billy Engel and Jerry Makoben. Rollo and Fred were both racing enthusiasts, Engel having attended the Indianapolis 500 from 1947-1962.
The Makoben & Engel garage and service station held their Grand Opening May 20-21, 1939. Fred and Rollo were brothers-in-law.
On Tuesday night, July 11, 1950, Bill Spiess took third place in the 20-lap semi-main behind drivers Lloyd Brown and Doc Narber. In the feature, Narber of Cedar Rapids took first and Lloyd Brown of Chadwick, Illinois took second.
On Monday, April 23, 1962, Duane Gamber, 29, of 1307 Brown street, suffered severe burns while repairing a car at Makoben & Engel's service station. Gamber had been soldering an oil pan when it caught fire. He was burned when he grabbed the pan and threw it out from under the vehicle. In 1974, Duane became the proprietor of Gamber's Skelly Service, 1435 W. Locust St. |
