It's always neat to read and travel back to those simpler times and the sense of family that existed in all communities. Now a days, we hardly know our neighbors let a lone the man who pumps the gas.

The picture is neat...I have seen that cardboard Texaco guy by the banjo pole before, but never with what he was holding...Now I know. I assume the top part of the sign changed depending on what was being marketed at the time......

Wonderful Story! Thanks for sharing.
It must have been hell for him to see the new owner tear the station down!!
Was it a perfect time? Never has there been. But certainly better! Certainly better!!

Great article,thanks for sharing.
A friend of mine here in town had a similar lifestyle.
He too said the wrecker calls were his favorite part of the job.
He could write a book..
