Fill 'er Up

Book Description
Step back to the day when a visit to the gas station meant service with a smile, a wash of the windshield, and the cheerful question, "Fill 'er up?" Since their unremarkable beginnings as cheap shacks and curbside pumps at the dawn of the automobile age, gas stations have taken many forms and worn many guises: castles, cottages and teepees, Art Deco and Streamline Moderne, clad with wood, stucco, or gleaming porcelain in seemingly infinite variety. The companion volume to the Wisconsin Public Television documentary of the same name, Fill 'er Up: The Glory Days of Wisconsin Gas Stations visits 60 Wisconsin gas stations that are still standing today and chronicles the history of these humble yet ubiquitous buildings. The book tells the larger story of the gas station's place in automobile culture and its evolution in tandem with American history, as well as the stories of the individuals influenced by the gas stations in their lives. Fill 'er Up provides a glimpse into the glory days of gas stations, when full service and free oil changes were the rule and the local station was a gathering place for neighbors. More importantly, Fill 'er Up links the past and the present, showing why gas stations should be preserved and envisioning what place these historic structures can have in the 21st century and beyond.

Book Description
Excerpt from Bulletin of the University of Wisconsin, Vol. 7: Economics and Political Science Series; 1910-1912 The development of the factory system, which started with the introduction of the power pegging machine at Lynn and Philadelphia, in 1857, was checked by the industrial depression of 1857 and 1860. During the next three years little progress was made. But the outbreak of the war began a period that taxed every means of production to the utmost. The gov ernment's purchases sharply increased the demand for sewed shoes; the patriotism of the journeymen sharply decreased the supply of shoemakers. The invention of the mckay machine in 1862 was quickly followed by its introduction into factories. A Lynn editor wrote in 1864.

Book Description
Excerpt from Wisconsin, Vol. 7: Its Story and Biography, 1848-1913 David husted wright. Seldom is it given to a man to complete so great a span of years filled with usefulness and honor as has been the lot of this venerable Madison citizen, David Husted Wright. One of the world's greatest writers has said that true wisdom consists in the ability to settle when the time arrives into a green and smiling age, and few men have done that more gracefully than Mr. Wright, who is now ninety three years of age, and who has spent sixty-nine years of this time in Dane county, No one living in Madison today can tell the story of the birth and growth and development of a little village into a beautiful city so well as David Husted Wright, and the materials for his narrative would be altogether those of personal recollection. Though he did not witness the birth of the city. He was a resident here when it was no more than a struggling village, and has lived and worked and grown with the growth of the place until he has very nearly become a part of it. At this time there is not a house standing that was here when he came to Mad ison, and he himself has had a hand in the erection of some of the most important structures in the city. He was a pioneer carpenter and con tractor in Dane county. For years he played an active part in shaping the future of the town: He was especially concerned for the welfare of the children, and his work on the school board will not soon be forgotten. His prominent place in fraternal affairs in more than one of the greatest secret societies, has brought him before the notice-of the people not only in the state of Wisconsin, but over the United States, and it is for the principles of brotherhood and true Christian charity, for which he has always stood that have won for him the friendship and love of a very large circle of friends and acquaintances. Known in the city of Mad ison as The Grand Old Man, and one who is greeted on every hand as Uncle David, he still walks the streets with firm step and unclouded mind, and is a Wisconsin man whose long life has been equalled with worthy achievements and character.
