An Iola business which dates back to 1916 closed its doors yesterday. Ross Arbuckle Motors is no more. Harold Arbuckle purchased the business from his father, Ross, when he retired in September, 1967. He told the Register he has no plans for retirement except to travel and visit children and grandchildren. Ross started the business in 1916 and was the senior Chrysler dealer in Kansas.
