Traveling further west, we arrive in the Arcadia, OK area. Ruins of Conoco Service Station 4.6 miles west of Jct. E Ash Rd. and Route 66, on the north side of the road. Head west along Route 66 from Luther and you will see the remains of a service station that once catered to travelers driving down Route 66. The limestone blocks of a roofless shell correspond to a Conoco filling station built sometime between 1915 and 1920. There is a sign telling its story, which involves counterfeiting and gangsters. Apparently the owner printed fake $10 bills in the back of the shop. Eventually he was caught and jailed. The station closed and fell into ruin. Later in the 1940s a body was found there, a murder victim, who was never identified.
