There’s a picture in Ben’s Service that shows Isaac Hills when he was two years old. Isaac was holding a broom like he was trying to sweep the shop floor.

Flash forward 20 years and Isaac is now the owner of the full service station and bait shop that’s been in his family for nearly a century.

“I’ve never worked another job,” Isaac said on Thursday. “So, I might as well stay here and keep it in the family.” For more on this story and many more please purchase a copy of the Sisseton Courier on news stands now or purchase a copy of the E-edtion on this website.
