Scope and content
The Jefferson Avenue Serv-Ur-Self gas station was located next door to C & G Radio Supply Co. in 1954. As the large stand-alone sign indicated, they sold Eagle gas, the "gasoline that lubricates." According to the 1954 City Directory, the service station was owned by Clifford L. Hughes and Ferdinand Lucien. Self-service stations were becoming much more common about this time in our area; customers could save money by pumping their own gas. Photograph ordered by Sunset Oil Co.
