  wow, great photo! surprising it's in color!

  Wow -- one stop shopping. The precursor to Wal-Mart! Notice that's really a gas pump. You crank that long handle to put whatever amount of gas you want in the tank up top, then drain it into your car with the hose.

• Jonathan Stiles said:

  Yes, there's a glass container or cistern atop which probably had calibrations on it so that you could count the precise volume pumped.

  Farmer cooperatives existed in 1940, with some sort of guidance/assistance from the Farm Security Admnistration (FSA)? Interesting - I don't think the FSA exists anymore; I wonder what became of it.
