Long's Illinois State Line Service -- I'm not sure where I got this post card. It is labled: LONG'S "Illinios State Line on Rt. No. 30." It would be a good guess that this is on the Illinois/Indiana state line. If you squint hard enough you will see that the gas station sells Sinclair Oil products. It appears that Long's includes a motel and restrurant as well.
