Back in 1968 - 1971, I pumped gas, changed & mounted tires, LOF, ... in a Mobil station in Buffalo, NY.
I recall wrapped tires, but it must have been before my time at the station. I do remember the crush of customers after the first significant snow fall!
We also had an IH Scout with a plow and a gasoline powered generator, we used to jump-start cars that were on the raggedy edge. A squirt of ether and 24 Volts almost never failed!
Also, when the snow got to much for the baby-blue Scout, a fella with a beat-up dump truck and an equally beat-up front loader would show up and remove the small mountains of snow the Scout had built up.
Back then, a constant stream of hot coffee from a local restaurant kept us moving and thawed out.
All paid for by the owner-operator; Jim Landes.
Thanks Jim!
