The following photos of the New Esso Club were sent in by Homer Waits. The first photo is what was on the point before the New Esso Club was built. That is Lone Palm Stadium in the foreground with covered blenchers and the back stop. According to Homer the buildings you see in the photo are barracks used by the U. S. Army during World War II. Again, notice the tankers laying off shore.
An now where there was only sand and wooden barracks there is a New Esso Club, with lots of parking.
But everyone wanted to park their cars in front of the New Esso Club. Not in the parking lot, it was to far to walk.

These are other examples of Esso Club membership cards. Date these cards were used is unknown, only that Mrs. Royer left Aruba in 1961. Submitted by George "Rusty" Royer, Jr.
This is what the Esso Club membership cards looked like in 1978. This card provided by Yvonne van der Putten-Brinkman
