| Ah
progress, where is your virtue? The years have moved forward for the
Shaw and Larrick Garage in Byesville, Ohio but time has not treated the
scene well. The old pre-visible curbside pumps as well as the curbside
have been removed. A Tokheim twin 850 pump set has replaced the
Tokheim "Victory" pump and the Wayne pre-visible has
surrendered to a visible pump. The overhead sign has been replaced with
a grotesque form of advertisement. The visible pump has a Pure Oil globe
and Yale tires are being advertised. We are not sure what the ladies are
doing, perhaps adding a touch of class to the scene. All in
all, the garage still has a certain air about it but it has slipped
somewhat in appearance. Compare this photo with the previous photo. |
