EDITORS COMMENTS
In the early 20th century, before gas stations became a common sight on every street corner, motorists had to get creative when it came to fueling up their automobiles. This photo captures a scene from before 1912, showing a group of early drivers purchasing gasoline at a livery stable.
Imagine pulling up to what was essentially a horse barn to fill your car with petrol - quite the contrast from today's modern gas stations! These pioneering motorists were paving the way for future generations of drivers, navigating the roads in their newfangled automobiles.
The image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing how transportation has evolved over time. From horse-drawn carriages to motor vehicles powered by gasoline, technology was rapidly advancing during this era.
As we look back on this historical moment captured in the photograph, we can appreciate how far we've come in terms of convenience and accessibility when it comes to refueling our cars. It serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and resourcefulness of those early drivers who helped shape the automotive industry as we know it today.
