The Hickock Oil Company began building these Hi-Speed stations of this design in the 1920s. In the early 1940s, there were 1,800 Hi-Speed stations in Michigan and northern Ohio. There were 350 in Detroit, 225 in Cleveland, and 125 in Toledo. Those that were still operating in 1952 were rebranded to Pure Oil stations. The tower signage was changed to spell out "Pure".
