Question... What did Jesus and a Gulf Service Station have in common -- in 1954?

I recently found this 1954 calendar on a camping trip. It's totally unique in that it combines Jesus, Gulf Service Station, and a Calendar in an advertising pitch. As far as I know, Gulf Service Stations don't promote religious advertising anymore. Jesus is knocking on my door but I'll probably put it up on Ebay.

Pretty cool calendar. I'm sure it's Jesus because of the Halo and clothes. Unless it's some OPEC guy foretelling the future. Mr. Odell was proud of the store he owned and his religion, something not very in fashion these days...

Of course how dare anyone other than a Muslim be proud of their faith and if you do there's some crybaby saying the picture of Jesus offended them and wants to take you to court for mental anguish. One day, one day, I do hope im at the front of the judgment line so I don't have to be behind all the ppl trying to make up excuses for what they did.
