Historic Alabama: Stokes Tire & Battery Co., Montgomery

Stokes Tire & Battery Company on Catoma Street in Montgomery.

GAS UP: A Gulf station is shown at the Stokes Tire & Battery Company on Catoma Street in Montgomery. Not much more is known about the photo, other than it was taken in July of 1948. We can tell you that a gallon of gas would have set you back about 26 cents, according to energy.gov. Photo courtesy of the Alabama Department of Archives and History.
