National Automotive and Truck Museum 04-28-2019 207 - Standard Oil Truck
Another fuel truck. This one is from some time after 1954, the date that the local company was established according to the door text.
John D. Rockefeller was based in Cleveland, OH USA, and you can still find some of the descendants of his Standard Oil facilities in The Flats along the banks of the Cuyahoga River. He made his money by actually producing a "standard" oil for lamps that actually worked as advertised all the time. He ended up with over 90% of the market before Standard Oil was broken up as a monopoly.
