Chesters garage, a Pure Oil Company station about 1920 |
| Chesters Garage a Pure Oil Company station in Cambridge, Ohio. As with most of our service station photos this one was taken in Cambridge, Ohio. We feel that this area was representative of the early motoring and gasoline marketing in Ohio as it was a major junction of several state highways. Chesters garage sold Purol gasoline and products and the Purol lettering can be seen on the pump on the right. We believe the pumps to be Bowsers. Unfortunately the lettering on the pump globes can not be read in this photo. The station was located on Woodlawn Ave in Cambridge and this street also was old Rt.#21 that went to Marietta, Ohio and Parkersburg, W.Va. Chesters garage survived until the middle 1970's when it was destroyed in a fire. |
