I know the spelling is not right. Was one at Olive and First Street? I remember many years back around 1976, I was working at World Airways. I was an Aircraft Painter. For a country boy moving from Fresno I was a fish out of water! I met this older gentleman, we became friends. I fact we followed each other from company to company when we would get laid off.
I found out his name was Marvin Ollenburger. I believe he said his nephew owned a few of the stores. One of the nicest people I ever worked with. I was around 24 years old. He had to have been near 60! Let me tell you, this guy could paint! I am talking any kind of jet aircraft, DC 9, DC10, 747, you name it. I didn't matter if it was smooth or full of rivets. This guy could make an airplane look as cool as a custom painted car. Perfect as perfect could be. I lost contact with him around 1980. He is missed.
