A special award was presented recently to Lional Schiszik, owner of Lional's Service Station in Curtiss (Clark Co., Wis.).

The award, a plaque bearing two rare silver dollars, to Kennedy half dollars, and a specially minted commemorative coin set in an automotive engine design, was presented for exceptional customer service by a representative of the Gates Rubber Company.

The company sponsors a nationwide contest to reward service station personnel who provide exceptional customer service. A fleet of "mystery cars" regularly travels across the country, stopping at service stations. Each car has a worn fan belt. Award plaques are presented to station personnel who notice the defective belt and offer to replace it.
