DescriptionTwo men stand in front of a Bell & Bowlin Texaco gas station. It was located at 6001 4th Street N.W. in Albuquerque, New Mexico. They are both wearing uniforms. Both of them stand side by side with their hands on their hips. On the left side of the frame there is an automobile parked next to the gas station. Painted onto the side of the station there is a Coca-Cola advertisement as well as what you can find at this gas station. There is a text that reads "Hunting, Fishing, & Supplies" above a small window. On the front side of the building, it reads "Tires, Tubes, Accessories". Under those words is another window. That window is next to where the front door is, as well as an advertisement for Firestone. Next to the front door, there is an open garage. It is hidden behind the gas pumps, though you can see tires and other things in it. Outside of the garage is another car. It is facing the opposite way from the camera so you can only see the backside of it. Infront of that car is a shipman service Dr Pepper semi-truck. On the right-side of the men are three gas pumps. One of the gas pumps has a huge circle sign with Texaco on it. In the background behind the gas station there are telephone poles and one tiny house.
