But I'm pretty sure this is new to NLA.
Hancock Oil Service Station owned by Ray Johnson and George Story.

"This Hancock Oil Gas Station was probably located at 837 North Pacific Avenue in San Pedro. The car on the rack is a City of Los Angeles Fire Department vehicle
and has the number 1527 on the door. The photo is probably sometime in the 1930s. If anyone knows the year, make and model of the automobile
or the exact location of the Hancock Oil station, please send an email to info@sanpedro.com "
"Also, if anyone can identify the Cafe in the background please email SanPedro.com."
I thought someone here on NLA might help them out with the name of the cafe next door.  , and their other questions. |
I'm speculating here, but I see "HOM"then space for about 3 more letters, then "RT." This being San Pedro, I think this might be Homeport Cafe. I haven't found it, but many coastal towns have restaurants, hotels and other businesses titled "Homeport" to utilize the local ambience.
