"Henry Ross pictured standing in front of the Once "Central Service Ford Company" in Eupora, MS.

 The building was originally a Ford dealership

Central Service Ford and was operated first by my a man with the last name Ross  His son Joe Ross, ran it along with his father for several years until �59 when he took sole possession of the business. Not too long after that, the Jameson family bought the dealership�although the Ross's retained ownership of the building�and kept it going until �68. It bounced around between proprietors until Ford finally closed it down in the late �80�s�like many small town dealers, it couldn�t match big city prices and inventories. In 2000 a small restaurant called "The Central Service Grill opened in the building".
