On the picture above, on the circle in the midle with the figure is the "charrito de pemex", since there was a number of persons that did not speak, write or read Spanish, pemex used that simbol to let people know where one could purchase gasoline, oil, kerosene, etc.
Specialy in the country side where there were no "gas stations" way up in the sierras, you went to the nearest "deposito de pemex" or you looked for the charro de pemex at a general store and they had the gasoline in 55 gallon drums with a hand pump, my dad had a funnel with a strainer to catch the rocks and some sand, when they changed barrels they sometimes would rest the pump on the ground, it being dirt and soaked with spilt fuel dirt would be transfered to the fuel tank that of course would plug the filter, dad had a special filter that coud be disasembled and cleaned on the 1948 war surplus Jeep.
In the 50's you could meet "el charrito de pemex" there was one guy with bowed legs, and dresed in a green charro outfit, I met him once at a feria del hogar (home fair) at the auditorio nacional (national auditorium) in Polanco, Mexico City, I do not know if they still use the simbol or not, I have not bee in the sierras in some years, maybe one of you will come across the charrito de pemex.
