Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums Petroliana News PogoGas.com has a "New Home" in Michigan

It is my pleasure to announce that Jim & Jodi Treadway, a.k.a. T-Waysgraphics.com have purchased 100% interest in the PogoGas.com globe manufacturing business. With their commitment to quality and customer service, a brand new production facility, central location, and the ability to travel to many of the shows, I know you will be well served by the change. I'd like to thank all of you for your patronage through the years, and invite you to support Jim and Jodi as they grow their company to better serve the gas & oil collectables community.

After over 20 years in the graphics arts trade, I made the decision this spring that it was time for a change, so I have done a complete 360 and will be developing and selling real estate here in the Okanagan Valley. I'll still be around chasing down clockface pumps (Still looking for an American 187 and a Dayton 900 ;o)

Good Luck on the Hunt!

Lance / The Pogo Man

First, I’d like to use this forum to thank Lance for his contributions to the Petrolania community.

Lance has been at the forefront of the reproduction lens movement. With his company - Pogogas.com - Lance has succeeded in offering Petroliana collectors some amazing lenses for their pump restorations over the years. Lance’s attention to detail and originality is second-to-none. His quality is unsurpassed.

Lance had a knack of tracking down that elusive lens that no one knew of and duplicating it for the collectors and pump restorers.

With this sale, Lance can now concentrate on restoring the pumps he loves so much.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was surprised when Lance informed me he was considering the sale of his business. I was even more surprised when he offered me the opportunity to purchase it. After the initial shock wore off, Jodi and I were excited at the offer to purchase the business and carry on the legacy.

The sale of the business and the transition of all the equipment and supplies from Canada to the United States took months to complete. There were numerous e-mails and phone calls to work out the details between Lance and us. But finally, it’s all finished.

Today, we announce the sale, and the transition is complete.

Take a few minutes and stop by our web site @ www.T-waysGraphics.com . I think you will find it a familiar place to visit. All of the lenses offered by Pogogas.com are still available, plus all of T-way’s Graphics lenses, decals and stainless steel trim. Even the Toll-Free number is still the same!

In the coming months we will be producing some new and exciting lenses for the pump restorer and petrolania hobbyist. We will also be expanding our selection of specialty decals. Make sure and check the web site often to keep abreast of all our new offerings.

Well, I guess I hate to see you, Lance, step aside. You have been an ABSOLUTE asset to all of us who love the old service station items and Globes in particular. But I believe the reins have been handed over to a couple that take it very seriously as well. Thanks for all the lenses you have made available over the years!
