A far cry from the "Service Station of Tomorrow," provided by the Shell Oil Company, shows a service station built in St. Louis in 1905, the first drive-in station in the world. Its original equipment, a gravity tank on stilts, a faucet and a fifteen-foot length of gardenhose, was considered a radical improvement over the old method of retailing gasoline in 5 and 10 gallon cans at paint and hardware stores.
