EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of the New Jersey Service Stat at the intersection of Routes 130 and 40, just two miles from the Pennsville Ferry in Deepwater, New Jersey. This image, taken in the 1930s, transports us to a bygone era of motoring history. The Service Stat, not to be confused with the Carlsons Esso company, was a popular roadside attraction and maintenance stop for travelers during the early days of automobile transportation. The intersection of Routes 130 and 40 was a significant crossroads, with the Pennsville Ferry providing an essential connection to the other side of the Delaware River. The photograph showcases the Esso gas station's vibrant signage, which beckons to weary travelers in need of fuel and maintenance. The station's attendant stands ready to assist, while a customer's car is being serviced in the foreground. The garage, with its red and white stripes, is a testament to the importance of these roadside stops during a time when long-distance travel was still a novelty. The historic setting of this photograph, with its rolling hills and open roads, adds to the sense of adventure and freedom that came with early motoring. The image captures a moment in time when the simple joy of hitting the open road was enough to make even the most mundane tasks, like filling up on gas, an exciting experience. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the history of transportation in New Jersey and beyond. Whether you're a history buff, a car enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of a bygone era, this image is sure to capture your imagination and transport you to a happier, simpler time.
