I picked this photo up at a auto show/swap meet Sunday. The Wells n Son Garage has 2 previsible pumps, a Fisk tire sign and a Firestone tire sign. In the backgound you can see a Texaco Station with 2 Fry Visible Pumps with Texaco globes and 2 wheeled Lubesters. I cant make out the 2 signs above them but they look familiar. enjoy.
