to purchase the factory building of John Butzer. In September
of 1940 the corner property known as the Elmer Gehman store was
purchased. These properties make up our present site.

 In October 1949 the
Post, in conjunction with Burgess Good and local Ephrata police,
sponsored a Jack Frost Halloween Party. This event has become
an annual affair and has proved successful in minimizing vandalism.
