A Petro Plus station in Oxford, Indiana. Known locally as Keith's Service.
It is just west of downtown at the corner of W. Benton Street (SH 352) and
SH55/CR350E. It is interesting because it is still a full-service station
with older mechanical pumps and an air hose that rings for service.
Here you can see the mechanical pumps and the signal hose.
Service bays are at the left.
A view of the office area.
Here are the old style outside-access rest rooms.

Caught in the act! Here's one that my wife took
of me while I was taking pictures.
Below are three more photos I took in 2003. It was
the wrong time of day, so the shadows are long, but
they have some merit so I am keeping them here.
These three taken April 27, 2003 by John Cirillo.
Note: As of 2006 this station is no longer selling gasoline.
It is still Keith's Service but no gas. The pumps and sign are gone.
This is a Petro Plus/Country Mark self-serve located in
Fowler, Indiana at the corner of Washington and 6th St.

It is apparent that Country Mark and Petro Plus 24 are successors
to the Co-Op and Energy Plus 24 brands. I will add more
information when known.

These stations are a trademark of Federated Co-operatives Limited,
a wholesaler with a refinery in Regina, Saskatchewan.
FCL is a partner in Newgrade Upgrader in Regina.
Previous information stating that this Co-Op was related to UFA
was incorrect. In fact UFA and FCL are competitors.
Thanks to Carol Rollheiser for this information.
Here are pictures of the new style service stations and signs
that are replacing the old stations by larger Co-ops that are
along major highways. This one is in the southwest corner of
Melville, Saskatchewan, situated on highway # 10.

and there are not many of these left.

Co Op in The Hamptons, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This is a partner,
or a part of the other Co-Op stores in Canada that use the
green red and white colours, not too sure what the relationship is.
All the other Calgary Co-Ops look more standardized than the one in
The Hamptons.
