TIME OIL CO. from Tacoma, Washington. SUNLAND REFINING CORP. Fresno, CA
These two small independents were up and down the Great Big Valley, mostly helping lower income families and farmers. They were mostly found in the older parts of a community. Time, being from Tacoma, Washington, was found all over the three left states and are still in business today. Sunland stayed in the Valley. Maybe as far south as Los Angeles?
From the Big Valley
The Escalon Gas Bash, hosted by the Jack Swisegood Family on their small Ranch in the heart of the Almond Orchards of the Big Valley just outside of the small farming area of Escalon and Modesto. Jack has been good enough to carry this bash on following Paul Mote and then Dick Kinsey, as we all know the renting of buildings and the insurance is high. We must stand with guys that are willing to Help the Hobby. Jack is a member of the PCA-West and we will help him as much as we can. The PCA-West is promoting four Bashes at this time to try and unite the collectors of the West. We are growing.

March 11th & 12th: 20087 Ellis Road Escalon, CA 95320. For information call 1-209-838-0755 or Email: Gasbash@fire2wire.com

Coming from the south to Modesto, near Salida, there are many really nice motels and eateries.

To get to Jack’s: At Modesto you can take the old cruising strip that went by the original Mel’s Diner in the 50ties. McHenry Blvd goes all the way through Modesto until you come to Ellis Rd near Escalon. Or stay on Hwy. 99 to Ripon to Jack Tone Rd, north to Hwy 120, east to McHenry. At the big intersection turn right on Ellis Rd. (you can only turn right on Ellis). Try to make it.

The PCA-West: Petrol Collectors Associated. Trying to unite collectors. Upcoming promoted PCA-West Bashes.
1. Big Valley’s Escalon Gas Bash - March 11th& 12th.
2. The El Camino Real Bash - July 15th & 16th.
3. Utah’s 1st Wasatch Bash - Aug 12th & 13th in Helper, Utah.
4. PCA-West’s Get-to-Gather? In Wendover, NV. For more info = www.pca-west.org

It's time to get this west coast Escalon bash up to the top. March 11 & 12 2005. Jack and his wife Tammy are working hard to make this another great gas bash.
The Time globe lenses from vintage logos will be raffled away at this bash. The tickets are $5 each and 10 tickets max. to each individual. I'm going to buy 5 for myself and if I get lucky I'll have an extra set of Time lenes.
Now who is going to be there??? Let's see some west coast participation. Ted
