Have around 80 historical pictures from the old Pure headquarters near Chicago.
Many from the 20's, 30's and 40's.
Thought I would share a few.

...awesome pics!...the ball player on the roofline, and former one, pumping the gas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Bagby,_Jr. ...Bronko Nagurski (Chicago Bears star & HOF member) owned/operated a Pure station in the 1960's...legend has it, that after filling your tank, he'd screw the cap back on so tightly no one else could unscrew it: http://stmedia.startribune.com/images/1960bronkoNagurskiGas.jpg
