Tomorrow will mark the 70th anniversary of June 6, 1944, also known as D-Day, probably one of the biggest military undertakings in American history. World War II is the subject today and tomorrow as well.
Yesterday, I talked about a motorist aspect of the war, the appearance of female gas attendants to replace all the male ones who were now off fighting the war. Until I read about the one in yesterday's post, I had never heard of women gas jockeys. Of course, I knew about gas rationing.
Today, I will post about a gas pump advertisement and its connection.
Tomorrow, I'll write about that day.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
