I went to coffee a couple of days ago with a person who has worked at the Frontier refinery for over forty years. He had a sack full of stuff his wife had told him to get rid of. He had got these items out of the trash many rears ago that was being thrown away. The first pictures are of a binder made of heavy cardboard sheets 12 X 16 1/2 inches 34 pages long. It was designed for Frontier filling stations to help their business. It shows that they sold Kendall products besides Frontier products all provided by the refinery.

Frontier Plant #2 was built in 1944 and 45 to supply aviation gasoline to the government. Here is a invitation to the opening ceremony.

What years was that logo used? I have never seen that logo with Frontier Lube or Penn, Very COOL.
As a 5 quart collector I would love to see Don's 5 Quart can if possible.
