Mr. and Mrs. Tom Strey are now the new owners of the Sunset Motel, which they purchased from Donald Schneider of Rightway Manufacturing Corporation, and became effective as of January 1, 1974. Mr. and Mrs. Schneider has owned the business for about a year.

The transaction was ideal, as the Streys were thing of selling their mobile home, which they did to his brother, as they needed larger living quarters. They have successfully operated the A & W Root Beer Stand in Owen for several years, and the motel is right across the street from it, making it an ideal arrangement.

The Streys moved into the living quarters in December and they and their two children are happy in their new home and business.
