Debra is a great person , she told me that she hadn't seen the Trianglr Filling station I did the model of . The former Atlantic station that both Scott Benjamin and debra have seen at the corner of 17th and Broad has had a major facelift . I'm glad I have photos of that station form years ago as this station was built back in 1920. Ed Shaver
see ya on the road folks !

Here is a photo of the same station in more recent years with a caption: This station was originally built in Maryville, Missouri by Foster Builders for Kyle Phares, of Phares Oil in 1937 and stood in the 900 block of South Main street. It was a fully operational gas station until probably the late 70s, when it was moved from the site. At first the station carried no brand affiliation. It was one of the first discount gasoline stations in the area. The station in the photo is now located on the fairgounds in King City, MO.

I have always looked for books that contained old station photos. I received a new one in the mail today, the title is: "American Service Stations; 1935-1943 Photo Archive" This book has 143 pages and 128 of them are photos with short descriptions.
Like a lot of you, if not all, I have some of the different Oil Company collectors guides. They are great showing some working gas/service stations, but I like seeing a lot of photos of the old stations. I have a number of gas station books, and have another coming entitled: "Phillips 66 1945-1954 Photo Archive: Photographs from the Phillips Petroleum Company Corporate Archives (Photo Archive Series)".
This book I received today, has some of the best vintage photos I have seen. Too many of my books show stations now, not what they looked like while in service as a working gas station. If you have a book that you really enjoy please share it here, so others can purchase one and enjoy.

That Wayne 60 station is very cool. Does anyone have a picture of an Esso station with a ACTO globed pump. I think ACTO was their budget gasoline? Likely pre-war era.
