Depending on what part of the country your station is representing during a good portion of the 70's?
Then in BIG letters you need either ..................... NO GAS
or
....... GAS AVAILABLE EVERY OTHER DAY depending on last two numbers of license plate
Also, need a sign NO MORE THAN 5 GALLONS AT A TIME
Or for too many............. OUT OF BUSINESS
