Whiting Brothers was a chain of gasoline stations established in 1926 and based in St. Johns and Holbrook, Arizona. At its peak, it operated more than a hundred filling stations (including at least forty on the former U.S. Route 66), fifteen motels and various truck stops under a slogan of "quality gas for less". Some of the vacant stations with the original Whiting Brothers branding still remain, visible but abandoned, on long-bypassed stretches of US Route 66.

| - Whiting Brothers was a chain of gasoline stations established in 1926 and based in St. Johns and Holbrook, Arizona. At its peak, it operated more than a hundred filling stations (including at least forty on the former U.S. Route 66), fifteen motels and various truck stops under a slogan of "quality gas for less". The business began to decline in the 1970s due to fuel shortages and a drop in traffic at its locations on the US Highway system as these roads were bypassed by Interstate highways. Stations in still-viable locations were sold off individually by the 1980s while many locations on roads long bypassed were simply abandoned. Some of the vacant stations with the original Whiting Brothers branding still remain, visible but abandoned, on long-bypassed stretches of US Route 66. (en)
- Whiting Brothers era um grupo de postos de gasolina fundado em 1926 e sediada em St. Johns e Holbrook, Arizona. No seu auge, operava mais de uma centena de estações de serviço (incluindo pelo menos quarenta na antiga U.S. Route 66), quinze motéis e várias paragens de camiões sob um slogan de "gasolina de qualidade por menos". O negócio começou a declinar nos anos 70 devido à escassez de combustível e a uma queda do tráfego nas suas localizações no sistema de auto-estradas dos Estados Unidos, uma vez que estas estradas eram contornadas por auto-estradas interestaduais. Estações em locais ainda viáveis foram vendidas individualmente na década de 1980, enquanto muitos locais em estradas há muito contornadas foram simplesmente abandonados. Algumas das estações vagas com a marca original Whiting Brothers ainda permanecem, visíveis mas abandonadas, em longos troços contornados da US Route 66. (pt)
