You know, back in the days of this sign and these letters gas was not of as high a quality as it is now. I suppose that an accompanying note as "Good Luck" was appropriate!! LOL!!!!
Speaking of the "QC" of the petro industry fifty years ago, I have many 40's and 50's five gallon NOS oil cans, never been opened. I'm still clearing land at my property in the country (aka Green Acres) and occasionally when I have a big pile of debris that I am burning I'll jump start it with some of the oil in these cans. It's anywhere from 20 wt. - 90 wt. and I must admit it looks a little "impure", shall we say, much like my mother-in-law's Thanksgiving gravy.
I'm not knocking on the past generation though because I realize the infancy of the oil industry in those days. The standards, rules and needs were much different.
JUST ANOTHER THOUGHT TO END THE WORK WEEK! Beer time, RIGHT!!!!!
Nice sign and letters, keep up the good work!!
Sincerely,
