Fire Chief ran from 1932 to 1935 and was a variety show that
featured comedy and music that featured The Fire Chief Quartet, The Fire
Chief Band and Ed Wynn. The roots of Texaco Star Theater were in a 1930s
radio hit, Ed Wynn, the Fire Chief, featuring the manic "Perfect
Fool" in a half hour of vaudevillian routines interspersed with music.
A sometimes rambling blog about my postcard collection, Mostly vintage, some new, a bunch of linens with a touch of chrome.

Gulf Oil - Vacation Postcard
This card looks to be from the 40's or 50's, but I was unable to determine the age.
Gulf Oil was a major global oil company from the 1900s to the 1980s. The eighth-largest American manufacturing company in 1941 and the ninth-largest in 1979, Gulf Oil was one of the so-called Seven Sisters oil companies. Gulf Oil Corporation (GOC) ceased to exist as an independent company in 1985, when it merged with Standard Oil of California.
