Texaco, Joseph City, Arizona
1962

A vintage black and white photo of a roadside scene featuring the Joseph City Grocery store next to a Texaco service station with gas pumps and the iconic Texaco star sign. There are several vintage vehicles parked in front of the buildings, and a large tree is visible to the right. The sky is clear, and the overall setting suggests a mid-20th-century small American town.
