Radio Oil Corporation ( ROCO) a manitoba memory


https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/our-communities/herald/correspondent/EK-was-once-home-to-an-oil-refinery-573290901.html

 

I have a small collection of old oil cans including these two - ROCO was actually a manitoba based chain of gas stations -

I remember ROCO but I don't know that I ever knew it was a Manitoba company. That's cool...

There was a Roco station at the top of the street where I grew up. The station is long gone but the lot is vacant to this day. There was a soft drink machine in there that suspended bottles in cold water. Drop your coin in the slot, work your bottle through the maze and lift it out through the mechanism. Always cold and wet!
