For the ranch

O ld and older. A Phillips 66 gas pump from the 1950's sits adjacent to a stone chicken-coop from the 1880's. Both found at the Spring Hill Ranch now home of the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve in the Flint Hills region of Kansas.

“The company that made Phillips 66 gasoline began in 1917 as Phillips Petroleum Company. In 1927, the company's gasoline was being tested on U.S. Highway 66 in Oklahoma, and when it turned out that the car was going 66 mph, the company decided to name the new fuel Phillips 66.” - Wikipedia
