Esso Oil CompanyDID YOU KNOW?
Anyone over 70 years of age might recall when
a trip to the service station involved the
hand pumping of gasoline by the attendant into
a glass cylinder mounted high on top of the
pump. The gas was released to flow by gravity
into the car's fuel tank at a cost of about
10 cents a gallon. From 1916 to 1935 the glass
cylinder gas pumps were a common sight. Framed in hardwood the picture measures
17 3/4 x 16 3/4 inches. Three different mat
colors add to the picture's appearance. Included
in this picture is an art print of an Esso
station, an Esso patch, a special commemorative
cover and 4 cent petroleum industry
stamp which is 42 years old (August 27, 1959).
