Humble Service Station, Late 1940s

I'm not exactly sure, but this may be a photo of opening day of the Humble Service station that sat on the southwest corner of Highway 90A & Brooks Street. This is the first station I remember on that corner. William 'Sweet Pea' Gandy managed it. Wayburn Hall succeeded him. Eventually, the station was remodeled and changed to the Enco & Exxon brand names. Wayburn eventually became the owner-proprietor, but prior to that date the station was part of Sugar Land Motor Company, managed by Gus Stabler.

Shown in the picture from left-to-right: Unknown, Tom James, Unknown, Gus Stabler(?), E.O. Guenther(?), Unknown. The unknown men wearing suits are probably representatives of Humble Oil Company.

My thanks to Jackie James for this picture.
