Old Sinclair Gas Station Photos

Posted by Jessica Kay Murray | Apr 6, 2013 | Old Photo Scans | 0 |

I think that these photos of a Sinclair Gas Station are from the late 1930s. Gas was only 18 cents! There are signs on the shop for “tire vulcanizing”, Sinclair Gasoline, auto storage (cost $1 for a week), and inside I can make out an ad for Ponds skin cream. It appears that there was a car wash behind the building, or maybe that’s a picture of a different building.

These pictures were found on some 1960s slides, when someone had obviously tried to preserve or duplicate the originals.
