Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, but not to the trade. I have an interesting old Tokheim item I wanted to see if any of you have ever seen.

It is a book titled:
The Station Ahead
A Service Station Manual
by C.A. Peterson

It is about 200 pages long and has different service station plans, layouts and other topics dealing with how to run a service station.
I also have with it a letter from the Sales Engineer of Tokheim Dated 1959. The book was his personal copy and the letter states he is loaning it out to the person addressed on the letter.

Any thoughts to the value? Has anyone seen one of these before?
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi signguy, welcome to the forum. I saw several copies of that book last week in Las Vegas at the Imperial Palace Classic Car Museum. I looked through it, but did not pay that much attention to it.
