The pair to have are the yellow \"Follow the Leader — Turn to Top-Rated 88 \/ 98 Gasoline\" station covers: one for Peerless Service of Porcupine Plain, Sask. (Phone 77), and one for the British American Oil Co. Ltd. dealer M. G. Siery \u0026amp; Sons of Weekes, Saskatchewan, both with the little white B-A station under the trees on the back. Two more carry the smiling \"Meet Mr. B-A\" attendant: Hi-Way Service (Alex Huywan) of Kelowna, B.C., pushing \"the best gasoline ever sold\" with B-A 88 and Velvet 98, and Profit's Service (Safety Service) of The Pas, Man., under the line \"Modern Canadians Choose B-A.\" The last two are a matched pair from Smith's B-A Coffee Shop on No. 11 Highway at Port Sydney, Ont., each with a photo panel of a waterskier skimming past the pines and a \"Thank You! Call Again!\" band. Opened up, two of the covers carry a bold black \"Top Rated 88 \/ 98 Gasoline\" inside panel and one is printed \"Towing — Any Where, Any Time, Any Place.\" Classic Canadian petroliana, with a strong prairie lean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetails\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col class=\"list-inside list-decimal whitespace-normal [li_\u0026amp;]:pl-6\" data-streamdown=\"ordered-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-1 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:inline\" data-streamdown=\"list-item\"\u003ePeerless Service — Porcupine Plain, Sask., Phone 77.

The colours are bright on the yellow station covers and the \"Meet Mr. B-A\" pair, and all dealer names and towns are fully legible. Honest wear throughout: creasing (one \"Top Rated\" inside panel is heavily creased), soiling and toning on the plain insides, staple tears at the folds, a torn notch at the striker of one Smith's cover, and a small torn hole at the foot of one inside panel. Typical honest condition for working service-station covers of their era — nothing is mint, and the photos show each cover inside and out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePickup and Shipping Information\u003cbr\u003eLocal pickup in Saskatoon by arrangement — cash accepted.\u003cbr\u003eShipping is calculated at checkout by total order weight: Canada from $5, US from $18.
