"Drivin' the Dixie: Automobile Tourism in the South"

Vintage Postcards

Ca. 1925 Tichnor Brothers Postcard. Inscription on the back of card reads:

"The South's largest and most beautiful filling station, located at the tunnel on the Dixie Highway. Handling nine different brands of gasoline and 17 different brands and grades of motor oils. Battery service, high grade vulcanizing tires, tubes and accessories. Ladies' and gentlemen's rest and comfort rooms. Lunch room in connection. Phone Main 4025-J. Always open. Welcome tourists. See Signal Mountain while you are here."

Sadly, this building is no longer extant, but stood near the Cherokee Tourist Camp.
