Description
Driving through Gibbsville, Wisconsin, on a Sunday afternoon, I couldn't help but stop and take a photo of this wonderful old filling station.
In 1932, Texaco introduced Fire Chief gasoline nationwide, a motor fuel that meets the octane requirements for fire engines. It was promoted through a radio program over NBC hosted by Ed Wynn, called the Texaco Fire Chief. During this time, Texaco also supplied the Nationalist rebels in Spain with a total 3,500,000 barrels (560,000 m3) barrels of oil

Thank you, Wayne. I think the town just left it standing… it doesn't seem to be a real business any longer.
