Over the 45 years I worked for a jobber they bought other jobbers. Sharkey Oil was just one of them in 1979.
I would look for advertising from them & I just got the paper weight that had made it to California. Most of the other stuff was bought locally except the floaty pencil which came from Paw Paw & the seller said her dad got it when he worked on building I-94 in the 1950's.
The aerial bulk plant picture was given to me by my boss / owner in 2001 before I retired. It is interesting that the picture was taken before two other bulk plants were built next to the tracks.
Note the rail car, it got there by a siding that came through the bulk plant to the water plant.
