While searching the local library archives, I came across this great pic of some stout Romans. Hopes it's okay, I grabbed pics from globe CD to identify globes in picture.

Now here's one I have to believe even the oldest collectors have never seen. The pump must be inside the building!!

Holy Cow Texaco sure did some of their gas haulers really well. Very nice.

I need the red one from the top!!
Very nice!

My grandfather's gas station 1938 in Wynot, Nebraska. My grandfather, Bernard A. Tramp, is wearing the service cap with my grandmother next to him.

My grandfather, Bernard A. Tramp, around 1940 with his tanker.

B.A. Tramp Oil from an aerial view early 1950 and ground view of station later in 1954. South Yankton, Nebraska along Highway 81 before crossing the Missouri bridge into Yankton, SD.

You can just make out the Deep Rock sign hanging by the diesel fuel islands to the north of station.

Great pictures Terry,

Do you know if any of the buildings are still standing?

Thank you Nicole but unfortunately not. My grandfather's gas station in S. Yankton was demolished to make room for the new gas station my father built which still remains their today. Our family no longer owns the business. All I have now are the memories and the pictures that I can find.

Great old pictures.
