The price for gasoline on the pump reads 60 cents per gallon. Canada dropped the Imperial System of measurement and adopted the Metric System (at least in many ways, but not completely) in 1975 (I believe). So, the closure of this gas station seems to suggest it occurred prior to that date.

Thanks for looking. Thoughts and suggestions welcome.

Interesting composition in you image. I would suggest converting it to a Black & White for more impact. My 2 cents.

Thank you very much for your comment and suggestion, Stan. I also think it would make a good b&w. Unfortunately, my conversions stink, so I doubt my b&w would have much impact. It is something I will have to learn how to do more effectively. However, if you feel you want to convert it, you are very welcome to do so. And then post it back here. Thanks, Stan.
