The Gas Station in America
By:John A. Jakle,Keith A. Sculle
Published on 2002-03-01 by JHU Press
|The first architect-designed gas station - a Pittsburgh Gulf station in 1913 - was also the first to offer free road maps; the familiar Shell name and logo date from 1907, when a British mother-of-pearl importer expanded its line to include the newly discovered oil of the Dutch East Indies; the first enclosed gas stations were built only after the first enclosed cars made motoring a year-round activity - and operating a service station was no longer a |seasonal| job; the system of |octane| rating was introduced by Sun Oil as a marketing gimmick (74 for premium in 1931).| |As the number of |true| gas stations continues its steady decline - from 239,000 in 1969 to fewer than 100,000 today - the words and images of this book bear witness to an economic and cultural phenomenon that was perhaps more uniquely American than any other of this century.|--Jacket.
