Getting off the interstate in this region of the country is rewarding for the scenery and the old Americana you will discover. This sign is from the Pure Oil and Gas Company that operated from 1895 originating in Butler Pennsylvania. They began gas stations in the late 1920’s and soon used the motto “Be Sure With Pure.” Operations ended in about 1960 when they were bought out and most stations closed or converted to Union 76. So this sign, Ricks was not open, would be at least 60 years old.
