fate Member Posts: 2 From: vancouver, BC, Canada Registered: Oct 2005	posted 10-17-2005 05:00 AM Paragon Oil Station Pictures I came across recently by accident when I was researching an oil & gas executive that was VP of Eastern operations Paragon Petroleum in Canada during the early '90's. Not sure if Paragon Petroleum was an offshoot of Paragon Oil but either way I did come across some pics of Paragon Oil's gas stations in Long Island at an artist website actually. Can anybody tell me if the two companies were affliated? I will give you the link here (whoever wanted it) http://www.frankjump.com/039.html Long Island City, Queens taken Sept'97 and another was taken in April 2005 but building is from the 1940's I think says Paragon Oil, get back to me at pingfate@yahoo.com and reference Paragon Oil in the subject and I will reply to you otherwise I'm too busy to figure out who is who & I'm outa here [This message has been edited by Lastgas15 (edited 10-18-2005).] IP: Logged
