Gas Station - Fresh delivery to Pie Town 1940 Postcard

Colorized photo from 1940 Original title: Stage in front of post office Location: Pie Town, NM Pie town, a small place named after a guy that baked pies. Settled in the early 1920's, or so the legend goes, a man named Norman, filed a minding claim. He opened a general store, and really liked making pies. Made entirely from scratch, he would serve them to his family and travelers, eventually the place was known as Pie town. It is a small town, described as a wild west city look by some. It's out in the desert, and because of the towns size, people have to do double duty to make it run. In this case the Santa Fe trail car also serves as a mail truck. When its not hauling the entire town's luggage.
