A special award was presented June 29, 1973 to Mr. and Mrs. Florian Herrick who
own and operate Herrick’s Service in Colby.
The award, a plaque bearing two rare silver dollar (one Eisenhower Dollard and
one Liberty Head Dollar), two Kennedy Half-Dollars, and a specially minted
commemorative coins set in an automotive engine design, was presented for
exceptional customer service by a representative of the Gates Rubber Company.
The Denver base rubber company sponsors this nation-wide contest (now in it
s41st years) to reward service station personnel who provide exceptional
customer service.
A fleet of “Gates Mystery Cars” regularly travels across the country, stopping
at services stations. Each “Mystery Car” has a purposely installed, worn fan
belt. Award plaques are presented to station personnel who notice the defective
belt and offer to replace it.
