Knox Less, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
1962

A vintage black and white photograph of a mid-20th-century gas station with distinctive signage reading "KNOX" and "STOP SAVE." Gas prices are displayed on signs showing "26¢" and "29¢" for different fuel types. The station has multiple pumps and a car wash service, and there are other commercial signs in the background, including one for pizza. The street in the foreground is empty, and a classic car is visible in the distance.
