1969: Olan Bailey’s Texaco station was located at the corner of First and Prince streets in Clovis.

A paid newspaper ad told us:

• Olan’s Texaco had the “friendliest, most courteous service to be found anywhere.”

• The alert staff was sure to let you know when it’s time for an oil change or any other service your car needs.

• Oil check, tire check and windshield cleaning were all standard, and free, when you pulled in for gas.

• A mechanic was on duty.

• The station was open 24 hours for your convenience.
