Duskey Brothers Grand Opening Ad – May 11, 1955

Here's an ad announcing the new Pure Oil service station opened by the Duskey Brothers at 19th and Broadway. It ran in the Lorain Journal on May 11, 1955.

There's those ubiquitous free glasses again. Remember them from this similar promotion for Bill Thomas Service?

Too bad gas stations don't give away anything anymore. In fact, you're lucky if they give you a receipt at the pump after you've filled your tank!

Anyways, here's a shot of the former service station at 19th and Broadway as it looked last year (below).
