A modern (1923) service station, where supplies of gasoline, lubricating oil and other products of crude oil may be obtained. At the right of the picture is the runway which many dealers maintain for convenience in draining the automobile crankcase and refilling it with lubricating oil, and for performing the many greasing services they render owners of automobiles and trucks.


Dealers in the products of petroleum, or crude oil, were everywhere, making it convenient for the motorist to secure supplies. There were more than 10,000 of the boy-and-slate signs scattered throughout the middle states in the 1920's and the En-Ar-Co-grams were read by thousands of people daily.
