Gas - History on Polly Gas is hard to find and the few
sources give conflicting information. One writer
says Polly began as a chain of independently owned
stations selling gasoline in California in the teens and
twenties. This source says that Polly became a part
of Wilshire Oil of Los Angeles during the Depression.
Wilshire was founded in 1910 according to two sources and
in 1919 according to another. In any case, Polly
stations were a common sight on the West coast from the
twenties through the fifties before and after the war.
Around 1960, Wilshire was bought by Gulf and Polly
stations became Gulf stations. |
