Description
This is an old gas station in Cannonville, UT, just a few miles outside Bryce Canyon National Park. The gas pump is called a visible pump because
the customer could see the gasoline inside the glass tank at the top of the pump.
Different grades of gasoline, as well as gasoline from different oil companies, had colouring added, allowing customers to verify the grade and brand they were buying. The level in the glass tank would drop as the gasoline was pumped, showing that the correct amount had been dispensed. The pump dates from somewhere in the 1920's.
