When cars and trucks started rolling off the assembly lines in Detroit, they needed gasoline to fuel them. The rush was on.............gasoline companies began to build and supply service stations in every state in the union. Some companies lasted only a short time, while others lasted a few decades. The Standard Oil Company (although changing names quite often) outlasted most of them and is still kick'n. The sign you see in the photo was one that was recognized nationally. They must have made thousands of them because you could drive from New York to California and see ESSO signs in every state.
