This photo is of a historic item not seen in decades, Notice the
employees
in the front: that makes this one of the extinct "Service Stations".



Pretty small gas station for 19 people to work in, no?


I have to apologize. I was wrong, the station is no longer open. The
family still runs the Bomber Restaurant and Catering. The aircraft is
currently undergoing a restoration.

Not if it's everyone on the payroll. I had a summer job in a
full-service Texaco station some thirty years ago. Manager,
two mechanics, and enough attendants to pump gas, wash
windows, check-yer-oil-sir?, and do minor things like sell
new tires and take care of lube-oil-filter jobs. Plus, I'm
guessing, the ladies in the picture's front row either ran the
cash register or operated a small coffee shop.
