The development of the Lincoln Highway changed the look of America as roadside gasoline stations sprung up along the route in every town to accommodate motorists. By the 1920’s this filling station in Maple Park was a welcome site to drivers.

Proud gas station employers in uniform, provided great customer service, cleaned your windshield, offered free air for your tires and gave away road maps. Dedicated to the automobile traveler, many stations also touted food, auto parts, expert repair services, staying open day and night and automobile storage.
