THE END OF AN ERA. .
An attempted buglary at Marlowe Feed & Hatchery was frustrated last weekend when would be safe crackers failed to gain entrance to the safe at the local business. The burglary was believed to have occurred Saturday night. It was discovered Sunday afternoon by Mr. Henry Marlowe when he went to his establishment lo feed a cat. The burglars stole a cutting torch from Huntley Material Handling which they placed below a wkidow in the t'Hck of (he building near the safe, stringing the hoses into the building ihrough a window. A spokesman for the company said that the Aould he buglarers didn't get anything when they failed to crack tl' ,atc but sure made a big mess. It took a professional lock smith one half hour to open the safe. The safe contained very little money.
HuniK y Police were able to lift fingerprints from the safe and arc \\(>rkiiig on several other leads at this time. This is not the first attempt at the safe at Marlowes.
If the burglars had drilled another inch they would have hit the tear gas spray which triggers when the safe is forceably entered.
An era came to an end in Huntley last week when demolition commenced on Little America tavern on Koute 47. The lavcrn was opened in 1936 by Bud Ferris. It was one of the first prefabricated buildings to be made. Throughout its 4 decades, it was owned-by Carl Walde. Wally & Heady Leonard. Ray Rohlwing and finally Bob Waldrop. During the time that the Leonards operated the tavern, it was cited by the Chicago Tribune for flying the American Flag daily as a patriotic tribute to our sevicemen fighting in Viet Nam. During the 1950's. the building became an attraction because ofthe ankle deep peanut shells which covered the floor. These were removed in December of 1960. Leonards also started a collection of business cards which span two decades and completely covered the ceiling. These cards were removed by Mr. Waldrop before demolition commenced.
The last official day of business for the tavern was July 31. At the August 1st meeting of the Village Board the taverns licence was retired.
the propeny was purchased by the State Bank of Huntley several years ago from the Leonards along \^jth a gas station known as Jim's Citgo. The bank tore down the service station several years ago and replaced it with their modern banking facilities at the corner of Algonquin Rd. and Route 47. A spokeman for the State Bank of Huntley stated that they plan to landscape the property on which Little America stood and use it for further expansion in the future. The exact fate ofthe building which is being taken apart in sections is not known at this time.
