Their juicy hamburgers are prepared with extra-lean beef, ground fresh locally and hand-pattied daily. Among the most popular choices are the Gonburger and Wacburger, but with 16 different hamburgers on the menu there’s something for everyone. No burger is complete without an order of their daily hand-peeled and cut one-of-a-kind fries. They also go beyond the basic burgers, if a hamburger is not your thing. They have everything from crisp salads and homemade soups to their secret family recipe scones. Finish off your meal with an old-fashioned ice cream soda (hand-stirred, of course!), Root beer float, or an Ironport soda. The shake and malt menu has over 50 choices, sure to please every customer. In a world of strip malls and fast food chains, it’s a real treat to find a place like this. Established in 1920 as a confectionary, the store has had very few changes since it first opened its doors. Through the years and with the addition of the pharmacy, they are now fondly known as “The Drug Store.” Hi-Mountain Drug has been family owned and operated since 1968, with four generations working at any given time. Hi-Mountain Drug is one of the few “main street” businesses left where you can eat dinner, have a shake, get your fishing license and supplies, pick up a book or gift, check out the toys, and stock up on craft supplies, all while your prescriptions are filled. They are a small business that offers friendly one-on-one service and takes pride in what they do. So belly up to the bar, enjoy some down-home service and take a walk down memory lane. Before you go, peek below the old-fashioned ice cream counter at the original tile mural and help yourself to a heaping serving of nostalgia. Let them help you create special memories with your children and grandchildren that will carry on through the years. Hi-Mountain Drug, 40 N.

In 1881, the Postal Telegraph System entered the field for economic reasons, and merged with Western Union in 1943. The original Morse telegraph printed code on tape. However, in the United States the operation developed into sending by key and receiving by ear. A trained Morse operator could transmit 40 to 50 words per minute. Automatic transmission, introduced in 1914, handled more than twice that number. Canadian, Fredick Creed invented a way to convert Morse code to text in 1900 called the Creed Telegraph System.
