Remember back when?

Remember back when?

Harold Kaltenbruner of Harold’s Auto Service forwarded us a collection of nostalgic photos of a time when “service” meant more than it often does today.

Some of these old gas stations have been abandoned, and some of them have been restored, but each one represents a simpler time where with a fill-up you got the gas pumped for you, your windshield cleaned, oil and fluids checked, tires checked, and a free map if you wanted it.

And for five-cents you could get a soda and a bag of peanuts… times have certainly changed!

Check out the album on our Facebook page!
