Wow! The LUBRICATION portion would be neat to hang in my shop! That looks like porcelain panels still on the gas station.

With the logotype on the building, I would venture to say he was a Marathon dealer once . Still, this type of building wasn't often built . Great find ! Ed Shaver
see ya on the road folks !

NOW THAT I STUDY IT, I KNOW PURE HAD THE SIGNATURE COTTAGE STYLE STATIONS. OF COURSE LATER ON NEW PURES WERE ICEBOX STYLE LIKE THIS. BUT SOMEHOW THAT "LUBRICATION" FONT HAS 1930'S WRITTEN ALL OVER IT....LOL!

It's great to see the old stations with the old timers. There is a Texaco Station with no pumps by me in Vermont. I plan to do a story on it one day. The guy just does Alignments with a 50 year old hunter machine. The station is all original down to the paint on the outside and the floors inside. No pumps or signs- old can's the original soda machine and cig. machine. The original Texaco Key's hanging Mens and ladies- he has locks on them because people have tried to take them. It's like a blast in the past. I talked with the owner for over two hours. He showed me all the awards from Texaco that his father won. He said he has some new old stock stuff-but nothing is for sale. He even has an original in operation Eco 37 that he still supplies free air to people. Here is a picture of the key's I found on the web- This is the station. I will get some pictures as soon as the weather changes. http://www.flickr.com/photos/kenstein/321846018/Here is a picture of the station on google earth: Google Earth Image
