Log Cabin Filling Station

Image

Rustic, log cabin gas station in Chippewa Falls with a traveler's vehicle being filled with gasoline. It is not clear if the young woman in overalls is a passenger or a local person or station employee. The latter seems likely, as the young man, while informally attired, is less casually dressed than the young woman.
