I have owned a tin sign from it for about 20 years and am preparing to sell it due to a move. I saw a similar sign recently sold and this is comparable. I would appreciate any information you can share. Thank you.

Prairie City and Cities Oil was active in the 1910s to the late1930s when it was bought out by North Star Oil and Gas. Here is a more complete version. https://oldgasoline.proboards.com/thread/390/prairie-history-buffalo-electro-gasoline Fred

As Fred mentioned above, Prairie Cities sold out to North Star in 1938 which was then bought out by Shell Canada in 1960 or so. Great sign.
