Here's a Sunoco sign from back in time. At one time, Sunoco stations were prevalent just about
everywhere.
Here are more classic petrol pump stations found in Illinois.
Although these stations are now abandoned, the structures still
remain as a remembrance.

UPDATE 03/07 : This was Archer's Service Station, run by Don Archer and later by his son (I presume) Floyd. The building in the background was the garage/repair shop area. A lift for cars was located between the two buildings. Since Archer's was next to the highway they carried as assortment of candy, soda and cigarettes. I can remember when 35 cents would buy you a gallon of gas or a pack of smokes here. They had a unique cooler for the soda, in which the bottles sat in a tank of water, which was chilled and circulated around the bottles. It had the Coca-Cola trademark on it. Its' purpose these days seems to be overflow parking for the bar next door. Many thanks to Lou Miller for update. 03-07
