I checked, one can also get these/others from the Nat Pack Museum store website, but my sister got me these somewhere around Akron. Nice light weight material for southern living. Nostalgia: It's within my origin's turf, appropriate as well. Rt 422 was "thee" place where all the restaurants were and closer to the Grandparent's farm, along the way so to speak. Ate plenty of Mr. R's pizza and other restaurant food from Warren in my youth. First Micky D's and Arby's in the area, too. Not like now, every other corner gas station has something drive up. We had enough gas stations and were branded but local/independents owners mostly. Including ours - rented out. People ran out of gas, but I think it was more from cheap auto fuel gauges and being poor. Gas was not as dear but people still drove to save a pennie or two. Who'd a thought it go from 29 cents back in the day to >$4 off and on now. I think when they opened our station in 1920, it was ten cents/gal. I'll have to looked at the picture. A motor head's dream to work them/hang out. I worked in Warren at a gas station, my deceased cousin ran, during college and got unsuccessfully "robbed". But did take a stitches needed hit to the head, little didn't they know it was hardest up there on me. Robber used the wrong end of that gun or I'd not be here. It's not like that now, my head or Warren. Kinda like Packards, never be the same.
