"N.A.K." the spur to power
I have a restored A-38 with "Rancho Gasoline" (N.A.K.) ad Glass, Globe Lens & Decals. "The Spur To Power" I believe this was a small gas company in the South West area like New Mexico etc., I would like to now just a little of the history of the company before I list my pump.
Thanks, Elden

According to the Globe CD.. "Rice Ranch Oil Company of Los Angeles branded their Gasoline "Rancho" and Rancho N.A.K.(Natural Anti- Knock)

The Company was operating in the 1920s and 1930s...

I found a CA Lawsuit, where the Rice Ranch Oil Company was sued by their Employees in 1935 or '36; for not paying their wages...

http://law.justia.com/cases/california/calapp2d/28/18.html

The Court Case had not been settled in July, 1938... So no telling if the Company folded later that year, or if they lasted for awhile longer? (also, no telling if the Employees ever got paid)

Late in 1967, Reserve acquired 27% of Fargo Oil Ltd. of Canada and he subsequently was named President of Fargo. Reserve has acquired the following companies in the last five years: Fremont Valley Lands, Long Beach Dock & Terminal Company, Rice Ranch Oil Company, and Apple Valley Building and Development Company

Morning DICK, the question was about "Rancho Gasoline" (N.A.K.) NOT about you exhibiting why they call you DICK.
