The photo below ran in the Border Cities Star September 24, 1932
This station is obviously long gone, but are any supertest stations still around at all?
Nick’s auto clinic at Riverside and University was definitely one. The shape is exact.
Any others?

I think that one is now gone as well Andrew. A quick note...it is Giles, not Gilles : )
Thanks Dave. Second mistake this week, d'oh! I've been typing too fast.
As for Nick's it was still there about a month ago...
So the Firestone station is what likely replaced this place.
Does anyone remember a small shop or shops (possibly a barber/convenience sote)located under the Ambassador Bridge on the north side of University at Huron line (circa 1950`s) ???
LOVE this SITE !!!
Nicks is still there as of Aug. 17th.
Yup, Nicks is there and still in buisness.
Indirectly related to the service station....anyone know when the Miss Supertest III stamp is going to go on sale?
I wonder if this was a Supertest? It kinda has the same feel to it.

Have always made me wonder as well.
Thanks Andrew!
I don't know about locations 2 and 3 but Integrity Auto sure looks like a dead ringer. Good eye, Aaron.
I agree John, the first one is a yes.
This station sit where the Tim Horton was, as for the Firestone store there was a large home that was used as a Doctor's office there first.
