Here's a Sunoco sign from back in time. At one time, Sunoco stations were prevalent just about everywhere.

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
