Stone Age Credit Card

At our meeting last night Zoe brought in this cardboard credit card of Jack's. I didn't even know they had gas credit cards that early! None of that holograph image stuff on this one. No security precautions. I could mock one of these up sitting here at the computer. Although it might be a little difficult finding a Magnolia station to use it at.

In the 1950s the Magnolia gas station in Elgin was run by W F Condron. It was located on Main Street where Hurst's garage is now, next to the driveway for City Hall. Here's a picture of it from the mid 1950s.
