I bought this matchbook cover on eBay. There's no date, but it doesn't look too awfully old. Maryland Match has been in business since 1935 according to its website. The earliest I could find Jack's Standard in a Hobart directory was 1987. But when did people stop writing their phone numbers in weird ways like "9110-PO"?
[update] I forgot to add that I asked a long-time resident about this station. He didn't know when the station was operating, but he said that "Jack" and "Bud" were brothers-in-law, being Bud Rohwedder and Jack Powell, who had married Bud's sister, Emily.
