This is a picture of the first Pinkys Standard Service. This one was located at 10th and Main. The picture shows the station all decked out with flags flying and a huge sign proclaiming Refinery Day - Neodesha. My dad is standing between the pumps and the car. Automatic shutoff valves had not, yet, been invented. So when a customer said, Fill er up, dad had to listen for the sound of the gasoline coming up the fill tube on the cars tank in order to not overfill the tank. The building in the background housed the car wash bay on the left and service equipment in the right bay. The lift was outside between the two buildings. Servicing cars was done outside, regardless of the weather or temperature.
