Whiting Bros. Gas Station - New Mexico
Whiting Brothers (there were four of them), was established in 1926. During their peak years of operation there were more than a hundred filling stations, fifteen motels and various truck stops operating along the nation's highways (including at least 40 on Route 66). Everyone who traveled the highways knew their familiar red-on-yellow signs and billboards.
This Whiting Bros Gas Station is rapidly falling apart. The sign has fallen and bushes are beginning to take over the lot on which it sits. This is a lonely corner.
Nothing I could find of the motel and market that was once in this same area.
