Tiger tails were stuffed animal tails that you would hang out of your gas filler door. Went along with the Exxon "tiger in your tank" promo.

Gas stations used to run all sorts of promos. Toy trucks, cars, dinosaurs. I remember them all very well.

Haven't heard the gas station 'ding' in eons!!

You might also remember the classic Candid Camera episode in which the attendant, while checking the driver's oil, pulled out a seemingly endless dipstick. :)

the old jungle:
"ENCO sign means happy motoring."
And the gold plated silverware - one place setting per fill up. Still have them today and use them on special occasions.
