A weekly-ish blog sharing my series of collages about growing up in the South during the 1950s.

FULL SERVICE
Purchasing gas at the neighborhood service station was quite an event since self-service was not allowed. The attendants took over and did everything thought necessary to keep our car running smoothly. While waiting, we entertained ourselves.
Do you remember "Trust Your Car to the Man Who Wears the Star" - the Texaco slogan? Seems as if my parents went to a Sinclair service station owned by the Garrett family, who had a daughter named Tu-Tu.
So funny, so true! Great collage. I came a few years after you but I still remember that.
