Take a drive down memory lane with this rare collection of gasoline
station photographs from both public and private collections,
touring a much simpler time in American history. Since its
inception in the early 1900s, the service station has been an icon
of the American roadside and a catalyst of our childhood memories.
Included is a brief history of the development of the gasoline
station in the United States and details about many of the
companies which punctuated the roadsides with their buildings,
including the Standard companies, Cities, Mobil, Phillips, Gulf,
Shell, Texaco, and Conoco. Filled with over 500 black and white
photos, Roadside Memories captures the essence of American life
over the first seventy years of this century. Captions provide
station location and era identification. These nostalgic photos aid
both the collector and historian interested filling up on
high-grade service station pumps, classic advertising,
architecture, and classic automobiles of the 1920s-70s.
