The former "Gables" is now the Helendale Market is a convenience store and deli. A real estate office next door was the post office from the mid-50s to the mid-80s. The Poly Gas sign is visible in the background.

The Polly Gas sign at what was Newton's Towing is located in a fenced in area right next to the Helendale Market on National Trails Highway (Route 66). Those gas prices bring back some fond memories! The prices on the sign could be from the 1950s.

Polly Gas was a west coast operation from the 1920s through the late 1950s. They had become part of Los Angeles based Wilshire Oil in the 1930 but was apparently still operating as Polly Gas until 1960 when Wilshire and Polly became part of Gulf Oil.
