Old gas pump
Located at a little farm house on prairie.
The first gasoline pump was invented and sold by Sylvanus F. Bowser
in Fort Wayne, Indiana on September 5, 1885. This pump was not used
for automobiles, as they hadn't been invented yet. It was instead
used for some kerosene lamps and stoves. He later improved upon the
pump by adding safety measures and also by adding a hose to
directly dispense fuel into automobiles. For a while, the term
bowser was used to refer to a vertical gasoline pump. Although the
term is not used anymore in the United States, it still is used
sometimes in Australia, New Zealand and Canada
