Harold’s Car Wash – located at 719 North Broadway the grand opening was
held in May of 1971. Harold’s was completely new and the largest of its kind in
a three state area. It was built at a cost of $185,000.00. Harold’s sold Gulf
gasoline, had 12 pump islands, 10 vacuum cleaner drops and featured a hot wax
application. They also claimed they could wash 120 cars per hour, (a feat that
would be difficult to match today)… During the grand opening they gave away 2
portable TV sets, 8 oz. glasses with each purchase along with a family size
bottle of coke, and 10 people won 50 gallons of gasoline. This would have been in the area of the Westlie
Auto Center on North Broadway.
