Fantastic filling stations / ISBN: 0760310645 OCLC: 49968065 MBI Pub., St. Paul, MN : 2002. Cool and dark, filling stations invariably smelled of grease and strong coffee. An attendant whose name was embroidered on a patch above his shirt pocket greeted motorists who pulled up to 6the pumps barking the classic line, "Fill 'er up!" Around back, the restrooms were clean - but not too clean - and somewhere near the door was a soda machine full of glass bottles. |
