I have a few more photos of boxes in Cincinnati that were taken in 1990 (not exactly old, but they're gone now).  I'll post a couple when I have an opportunity.

In the old days, it was common for gasoline stations to carry multiple brands so that you could drive to one location and choose the gasoline you wanted to purchase.  This station was probably located somewhere in Pennsylvania when this photo was taken in the 1920's.

At "The Best Garage" (We Never Close) you can choose from Tydol, Texaco, Sunoco, Sinclair, Esso, and Atlantic!  A busy place from the looks of it with a local ball team hanging out by the entrance and that Gamewell Excelsior alarm box on the utility pole.....  (Look to the left of the 7 on the sign that says "7 gallons for $1.25").
