This photo is of a historic item not seen in decades, Notice the employees
in the front: that makes this one of the extinct "Service Stations".




Pretty small gas station for 19 people to work in, no?


I visited it in 1961, on a family trip from the Midwest through the
Northwest and crawled around inside the bomber. It was pretty well
gutted, but I understand that it has been taken down and either is being
restored or is restored to flying status.
