The days of full service gas, oil and tire check, and cleaning of all outside car windows...
Those were the days!

AND putting a tiger in your tank!!!

Working at a full service Exxon station was my job when I was in college. Pilger's Exxon (and later on it became Bobby's Exxon) on the corner of Harvey Rd and Texas Ave.

In the small town where I grew up, we used a full service Texaco station that not only pumped your gas, they ran a tab and sent you a bill at the end of the month.

Wikipedia: "Humble Oil"

"Humble Oil and Refining Co. was an American oil company founded in 1911 in Humble, Texas. In 1919, a 50% interest in Humble was acquired by the Standard Oil of New Jersey which acquired the rest of the company in September 1959. The Humble brand was used by Standard Oil of New Jersey until 1973, when the company rebranded nationwide as Exxon and discontinued Humble, along with its other brands Esso and Enco.

"Today, Humble's assets are owned and operated by ExxonMobil, which formed from the merger of Exxon and Mobil (Standard Oil of New York) in 1999.

"The Humble Oil Company was chartered by Walter Fondren Sr., and brothers Ross Sterling and Frank Sterling, in February 1911. They were joined by their sister, Florence M. Sterling, who became assistant, and later full, secretary and treasurer of the company. The three siblings were often referred to as the "Trio." ..."

1965 -- "Tiger-In-The-Tank Sweepstakes" Humble/Esso Ad
-------------------------------------------------------
My grandfather--who was born and grew up in Luling, Texas--began working for Humble Oil during World War II when he was in his early 20s. He wanted to attend Texas A&M College and be in the Corps of Cadets after graduating from Luling High School in the late 1930s, but during the Great Depression his family could not afford this so he went to work in the local oil fields. He loved Texas A&M and supported the Fightin' Texas Aggies his whole lifetime.

My grandfather was denied service in the military during the Second World War because an eardrum had been punctured by a Luling physician as a child to ease an ear infection, a harmful practice no longer used. My grandfather married my grandmother and moved to the Freer, Texas, Humble Oil Camp where he and his drilling crews produced crude oil that was pumped by pipeline to the Baytown, Texas, Humble Oil refinery.

This is the medallion my grandfather and his Humble Oil colleagues received in 1944--the same year my Mom was born in Freer--for producing over 1 billion gallons of 100-octane gasoline. This was the aviation fuel needed by the U.S. and Allied air forces to defeat the Axis military operations. He was proud of his hard work in the oil field to support the War effort and of this medallion symbolizing this dedication. He gave it to me just before he died in 2004, 60 years after he received it.


My grandfather worked for Humble--which in 1972 changed its name to Exxon--until he retired in the 1980s. Just after this, he sold some of his Exxon stock shares to purchase my Aggie senior boots for me because he was so happy I was able to attend Texas A&M and be in the Corps of Cadets, something he had always wanted to do. I had my grandfather's name inscribed in my senior boots to honor him.

Thank you to Humble Oil for helping the Allies win World War II and for providing jobs, homes, pay, and benefits for my and other Texas families for decades. Also, God Bless my grandfather and the other members of the Greatest Generation for their grit, determination, and hard work that helped our nation to survive the Great Depression and World War II.

Well we have done Dorthy so it's only right to bring up the other lady of the ice from days gone by...
Peggy Fleming the first lady of the ice.

Well if we're going with female skaters, here's a double, Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan.

That girl Tonya had some serious issues.






While Harding was somewhere around a 7 on the "HOT" axis, they need to extend the "CRAZY" axis by at least a factor of two for her to fit in.
