Not a Texaco, your unit is a Grayco, made be the Gray Co., Inc. of Minnealpolis, MN. They were in business since at least the 30s.
Your unit was called the Service Merchandiser and it was introduced in 1952. It was the Model 225341 as you have it, but you could buy the center section only, or with one side, etc.
The sales brochure shows the piece of ad glass reading "BRAKE SERVICE."
When you open the bottom door, there should be a swiveling parts washer.
In 1952 the price for the unit as shown was $370.00 and it weighed 684 lbs. Additional cost for the four oil dispensers.
My brochure is for sale, if interested, email me.
See you all at Columbus.
