| This photo shows the Umstott
Sunoco Service Station from the late 1930s. The location is Cambridge,
Ohio at the corner of U.S. Rte 40 and Dewey Ave. Cambridge was sitting
astride 3 major US and state routes in this time frame and gasoline
stations were in abundance. This small Sunoco station has the usual
advertising. Sunoco gasoline, Quaker State motor oil, Gates tires. The
chances that they had the brand that you were looking for was high, we
just wonder where they stored it. A typical small town service
station that was eventually added onto over the years, allowed to decay
and then torn down. Relatives still run a full service mini-mart style
station on the opposite side of the intersection but the new station
seems to be lacking the charm of the original. |
