Self-Service Gas Strikes Carterville Illinois
A Standard Oil station in Carterville becomes one of Southern Illinois first self-service outlets. Customers save money with 70 cent premium self-serve versus 73 cent full-service, 64 cent regular versus 68 cent, and 68 cent unleaded versus 71 cent. Attendant-only mini-service evolved into self-serve after Illinois fire rules change to allow the practice, effective May 1.
