Always looking to buy, but I am REALLY just looking for info on Gilmore stations for my research. If anybody has any Gilmore station photos, business cards (like the ones shown in pic below) that are stamped with a station name/location, or any other items like matchbooks, maps, pens, ads, paper ephemera, etc... anything that has Gilmore station location(s) on them. Would GREATLY appreciate it if you'd share them with me. One of my endless research projects over the years, has been documenting station names/locations. Always looking to add to the list! Thanks.

Nice card, Anthony. Yes, have that one already listed in Blaine. Have yet to find a physical address for it though. It was one of the original stations that carried Gilmore, when they expanded into the Bellingham (Blaine) WA area in fall of 1930 (see attached newspaper ad). Thanks for sharing it though.

For Arizona, I have found them located in Ashfork, Prescott, Williams and Yuma. These are just the ones I know of, haven't found others... YET!

Will do. Not at home to check, but I believe they appeared in AZ in '39 or '40. All stations likely switched to Mobil after the merger in'45. I don' t have addresses for some of them. Just mentions that they were used as check point/refueling stations for the Gilmore Grand Canyon Economy Run in 1941.
