Here is a pic of some past residents from my hometown building the only dam we have to this day with a Texaco station in the background. Still looking for better pics of that.

Randy that Associated truck is awesome!!
I found the door decal on this Pennzoil truck interesting. It says "Motor Oil" along the bottom instead of "Safe Lubrication". I've never seen that before. Great looking old truck!!

A local friend from my hometown just found these recently.
Her Father owned & ran the station here back then.
These were taken May 15,1959 when it opened.
Some great details if you zoom in..
3 Gal.of gas cost $1.00 total.
6 blends of octane are shown.
