With thanks to Jake Klamm and family, I am able to post these photos of the original Klamm's Bar, Cafe, Gas Station, and Klamm's Cabin Motel which was located on the northeast corner of Leighton Blvd. and Valley Drive East (U.S. Highway 10-12) in Miles City where ABC Glass and Signs is located today.
John Klamm Sr and Elizabeth Klamm (Jake's paternal grandparents) owned and operated Klamm's Bar, Cafe, and Gas Station, Klamm's Cabins Motel, and a Packard Automobile Dealership in Miles City.

KLAMM'S CABINS MOTEL AND PACKARD DEALERSHIP

KLAMM'S CABINS MOTEL

IDELLA KLAMM
(The 1940 Census says that Idella Klamm was age 6 in 1940.)

KLAMM'S BAR
(John Klamm Sr. mans the bar at Klamm's Bar.)

KLAMM'S GAS STATION
(I believe this may show the early stages of construction of the original Klamm's Bar, Cafe, and Gas Station. The photo was labeled "Well house" in the Klamm family photo album. I think the sign on top of the small building says "COMMUNITY GAS".)
All photos courtesy of the Klamm Family.
