Wayne Henderson here might be able to help as he collects Station Pictures [I've heard over 100,000!].

Check out this link.... I would think somewhere in the 79 pages you would be able to find what you are looking for.

Thanks Huskybob,but I have viewed all of these and all 4000 pages of the HAMBs vintage shots and every web site I can find.Its like all history of Tresler Oil Company has been wiped out.I will keep looking,maybe some one will find some lost pictures.Thanks Terry

There are five Tresler pictures, including a photo of the Speedcenter (Cincinnati riverfront station) in my new book "One Hundred Years of Gas Stations" due out shortly. Over 2000 photos showcase the best of the gas station century. Watch pcmpublishing.com for availability.
