As the business grew they decided to expand so they moved the operation to 312 N. Clinton Ave.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/miserybay.usanethosting.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/gallery\/13august\/egg5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"image\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" \/><br \/>\nThe egg processing operation was in the basement, the egg cracking operation was on the first floor along with Jake&#8217;s office, and all the pallets of cartons went to the second floor to be unfolded, staple, and divider inserted. There used to be an old hand pulled elevator that transported the cartons to and from the second floor.<br \/>\nThe Wabekes eventually sold the business to Patrick and Susie Massey, both of them were employees. Susie candled eggs and Pat was the foreman. They moved the business into a new building at 2500 N. US-27.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/miserybay.usanethosting.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/gallery\/13august\/egg4.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"image\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/miserybay.usanethosting.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/gallery\/13august\/egg3.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"image\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" \/><br \/>\nThat&#8217;s Pat Massey on the right.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/miserybay.usanethosting.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/gallery\/13august\/egg2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"image\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/miserybay.usanethosting.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/gallery\/13august\/egg1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"image\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" \/><br \/>\nThe Egg Station fell on hard times and eventually closed.
