Frank Kupka was born in 1899, moved to Canute in 1916 and opened his Texaco service station in the mid-1930s. His son Gerald operated the station in the mid-60s. The station bears the slightly modified signature style, drive canopy used by Texaco in the 30s and 40s.

Also in the mid-60s, while running the station Gerald Kupka was also the town Marshall. By then this was more than just a service station, it was more like a small convenience station where besides buying gas and service for the car you could also groceries, apply for a drivers license and get license plates for your car.
