The Citgo Web site has several nice B&W vintage photos of Cities Service stations. Two of them are high resolution and would make great computer wallpaper for any gas guy, but especially Cities Service collectors.

To use it as wallpaper on your computer:
* Click on the link above
* Click on the links to "Cities Service Station, 1, 2 or 3"
* While viewing the picture you want, right click on the picture
* Choose "Set as Background" or something like that in various browser versions
* That image should show up then as the wallpaper background on your desktop screen

That would be image #3. Love the cool gas station there. That Chevy is sweet as well as the fins on that Dodge convertible. Two-toning was an art form back then.

Another option is to go to the Shorpy Web site that hy-flash 72 suggested recently.
