In the foreground, the man is shown bending over to insert the fuel nozzle into his car's gas tank. He is dressed in casual attire, consisting of a gray t-shirt, green pants, and black shoes. The car itself is a maroon-colored vehicle, although its make and model are not clearly discernible.

To the left of the man, a sign stands on an easel, bearing the message "BUTT STOP CIGARETTES 2 FOR $1.10" in bold red letters. This sign appears to be an advertisement for a local cigarette brand, offering a special promotion to customers.

Behind the man, several signs are visible on the gas pumps and surrounding buildings. One sign reads "Auto Store," while another displays the logo of the Amoco oil company. Additionally, there are signs advertising various services, such as "PARKING 61¢ IN THE REAR" and "ALL YOUR AUTOMOTIVE NEEDS."
