FWIW, and so that Nicole or anyone else doesn't think bad on me, my only point in this was that she was standing right next to the word Ethyl. At the moment, I just found it a little silly. That's all.

she looks like she's ready too step into the ring - I'd hate too be the kid caught taking change out of her purse for the ice cream truck ...

I have a large newspaper ad dated Aug. 31st, 1928; touting the "New Partnership" between Tydol and Ethyl....
It could be, she was a "young" Model in '28???????

I didn't think the joke was bad We have all see the photo of Ethyl drinking from the pump...Lol I just was wondering what would make a woman of her age pose so proudly. My guess is wife, owner or mother. And looking at faces and wondering what they looked like younger is an occupational hazard!

Judging by the globes, that picture was taken in the early post war years. Although my grandmother didn't look like that, she wore coats like that. That's how older women dressed and posed for pictures back then.
Wanted: Gas pump globes:Sinclair & affiliates, IL companies. Ripple bodies. Anything Sinclair, Stoll, Pierce, 4 Bros. http://www.lastgas15.com/
