You don't see these around much anymore.

 

I haven't seen 1963, since 1963, either, ma'am

 

I wish my garage was that clean and neat... they must have taken that pic after the cleaned it up... or before they opened up that particular service station... too clean...
Oh hey look they got a whole cart of Canada Dry... they must like ginger ale back there.

 

It was the night man's job to scrub the floors and wipe down all the cabinets EVERY DAY. Only slobs ran grease traps. The oil companies also did quarterly inspections and passing them was a requirement to keep the franchise. Clean rest rooms and sale office were another requirement.

 

Try as I might I cant make out the Canada Dry in any of the pictures, cases of Oil, Filters, Dist caps yes, but no Ginger Ale.

 

second picture, right above the tire buster, to the right of the front end of the car.

 

I think that Canada Dry you do not want to be drinking.

 

It's still there.

They did so much remodeling on it, you can't even recognize it anymore... amazing!

 

Service is no longer there, and gas prices have gone up... damn 30.9 gets you no where near the service it used to!
