I believe those are toys. There is no real gas tank to fill. But it is a cool picture.

What are the bikes with sidecars the kids are on?

I believe the motorcycle is a 1911-'12 Flying Merkel twin. . . But the rider's hat is what confounds me

It appears to me, Eric,

He has a common button-down short-brimmed hat of the day,

His face is hidden as he looks downward,

And his coat has a hood that extends above his hat.

PS: My question about the #4876 possible Ray Tursky pic is: How did he secure the oil tank?

Great photo . Do you know where that was taken?

Thanks pem. Unfortunately, I do not know the location of that photo. But the thought that this is one of the world's first gas stations (and mobile...maybe that's how they got the name) is pretty cool. I believe back in those days you could also purchase fuel in containers at the local pharmacy.

My grandfather talked of buying gasoline in tins from the corner drugstore.
