Here is a great pair of images that were taken perhaps twenty-five years apart. Above is the Stone-McVickers Gasoline Station that was located in Williamsville, Illinois. ISO-VIS gas and oil were both products of the Standard Oil Company. Note the Standard Oil crowns atop the pumps. The photo is circa 1930, and the building carries some interesting architectural elements. The photo is courtesy of the Williamsville Historical Museum via Joe Sonderman. Many more gas station photos here.

The photo below appears to have been taken down south as the Harley-Davidson Panhead is wearing a 1957 South Carolina license plate. The child’s cloth helmet, sunglasses with white plastic frames, and the suspenders make the image. Just imagine how excited he must have been to go for a ride on that big machine. The photo is courtesy of Jim Wear of the Antique Motorcycle Club of America. Many more motorcycle photos here.
