I remember bouncing a bounceyball around Rase's service station (17th and Hutchins across the street from Mound Park) and accidentally Bbeaking the globe on top of one of their filling tanks. I paid for it too, but Mr. Rase and Howard were two of God's greatest people.
I remember seeing Clark Rapalee's mother and dad filling their cars there. They were such classy people explaining the classiness of our muytual friend, Clark or Rapp.

Sam, do you remember when the gasoline wasn't pumped elecrically and your dad, or someone, hand pumped it up into a glass measuring tank to determine the quantity you bought, You ran it from there by gravity into the gas tank of the car.There are two of those tanks in the picture, Jack P.

AFTER YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURES READ THE NOTE AT THE BOTTOM!
WE ALL NEED A REMINDER.
AND WE THINK WE'VE GOT IT BAD!
This was a mere 70 years ago....
Forward this.
Makes complaining about no cell service, high gasoline prices, not enough cable channels, et al, seem a bit ludicrous.
I am reminded to be grateful for what I do have ...
Start each day with a smile and a prayer ... then pass it on! Sad to say, but we're headed down that path again right now. As they say " History Repeats Itself ".
