A Standard Oil filling station in 1924

The Standard Oil filling station on Rte 22 in Derwent, Ohio in 1924. Derwent is south of Byesville, Ohio and was on the way to Caldwell and Marietta. The building was a crude affair with the basic amenities for both attendants and customers. The pump on the left appears to be a Bowser Chief Sentry. The “Havoline Oil” sign is located in a prominent position for all to see. A basic filling station offering gasoline service to the motoring public. Notice the attire of the gentlemen in the photo. In this photo the same filling station takes on a whole new appearance!
