Bassett's Restaurant on the corner is a place well advertised for miles around and on all main highways. The proprietor is Ollie Bassett who has been very successful in this business. Preceding the Bassetts, Joe Cascarelli had an ice cream parlor, candy and fruit store on this corner, doing both a retail and wholesale business in these products. Earlier occupant of this building was Thomas Gillis who had a fine grocery business, and the building was then called the "Gillis Block".
