I do recollect reading about all this stuff in my history books.........................
Those were the days - when "service stations" were exactly that!! I remember some poor guy trying to really take care of cleaning the windows on my car - all of them! When he went to clean my outside rearview mirror, it snapped off in his hand. Not a happy day.......
Oddly, I've still got a few momento pieces of the glassware from back in the '60s: a white glass "Grog Mug" and a glass celebrating Apollo 11's landing on the moon, both compliments of the local Marathon station (for those of you from the midwest!).
