At 916 Poplar
and N. Montana Ave., the Hi-Way Market was a handy stop on the
way to Canyon Ferry or Lakeside. The combination market and
service station was opened in 1936 by Arthur Cramer as Cramer's
Trading Post. Cramer also operated a livestock auction, held
south of the market on National Avenue. There was also a small
trailer park north of the market.
Jimmy Hopkins
and John Smovir took over in 1949. The store closed early in
1970. If anyone has actual photos of the operation, please
let me know.
