Horsepower at the pump

The bakery wagon's horse gets filled up!

The photo shows the Cambridge Bakery Company horse and wagon at the Peoples Oil Co. service station, located at the foot of the Viaduct bridge on Dewey Ave in Cambridge, Ohio. The Cambridge Bakery Co. made and sold "Sunburst" bread to local homes and businesses.  

The service station  sold Mobiloil products and one can see the Mobiloil can racks beside the two, ten-gallon visible style pumps. The pump in the middle is a more rare five-gallon visible model with a " Metro" globe on top. The service was later purchased by Gail Marks and operated as a Mobil Oil station for several years. It now houses an upholstery business.
