Albert W. Taylor, manager of Standard Oil Company of California, meets with Edwin Bitterling, owner of Ed Bitterling Chevron Service, on September 15, 1954. Mr. Taylor is standing outside his company car at the Chevron gas station possibly signing an order for gas. Edwin Bitterling and a fellow worker smile as they wait for him to complete the task. Mr. Bitterling was a recent Pacific Northwest winner in a recent sales and service contest conducted among local Chevron dealers. He would be honored along with his wife Dolly at a dinner given by Standard Oil. He, along with other winners, would be guests of the oil company at the University of Washington- University of Michigan football game preceding the dinner. (TNT 9-22-54, p. 25)
