Artifact Overview
Photographic cards like this one, with their glued-on labels, were a preliminary step taken by Dexter Press before producing postcards for small-business owners to mail or hand out to customers. This was one of hundreds of small, privately owned service stations in business during the 1930s and 1940s. The Skelly Oil Company was founded in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1919.
