Good afternoon. I have a cousin who travels back and forth from France to Canada for his company. One day he was taking a tour and came across a village called Oudure-Sur-Glane. Some very atrocious (and that isn't even a strong enough word) things occurred to the people of this village. After the war, a new village was built and it was decided to leave the destroyed village as it was as a memorial and a museum. My cousin saw this Texaco item and wondered what it was....my high school French isn't too good anymore, but I think the phrase "Par Le Tat" means "by the state"....any idea what this "oil/gas" item might be? Also, the name "Girtex" was unfamiliar to me. I did recognize it as the Texaco star...LOL. Did a Google search and didn't find anything. If anyone has any ideas, I would be grateful for any info.

Wow...that was quick...Thanks for the info...so, I am guessing that since it has/had wheels that there would have been a barrel of gas/petrol in it to move around...indoors to outdoors??? Thanks again....

These type of posts are why I enjoy this site so much. I learn something new, about something I had no previous knowledge of, and find the topic fascinating.

"Girtex was the name of the Texaco refinery in Gironde, France. The name derives from the first three letters of Gironde and Texaco."
