Pictures

The present pictures are, in principle, a good addition. But they depict the wrong one of the many Standard Oil companies. (There were about a dozen as a result of the 1911 decision of the Sup Ct breaking up the Std Oil Trust.) This case was about Standard Stations, a wholly-owned sub of Std Oil of Calif. The Std Stations logo is depicted at File:Std St'ns Travel With Us.JPG. The sign shown in the article is a different Std Oil Co.--I think SOHIO.

The filling station shown is located in Ohio, as the descriptive material for the WP file says. It is a SOHIO filling station, not a Std Stations or even Std Oil of Cal station (they are different). I agree with the idea of depicting a station, but this one is of a different company. There is an old photo of a real Std Stations filling station at this URL: http://www.scroungers.net/t189p360-old-gas-stations-hotels-and-car-hop-pics

I would welcome comments from others on whether use in a WP article about Std Stations of the old photo just mentioned is a fair use.

I replaced the picture of a SOHIO (or Std of Indiana) gas station in Ohio with a picture of a Standard Stations gas station in California, since nobody commented on the above posting. PraeceptorIP (talk) 01:43, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
