HELLOOOOO OLDGASSERS! TIME ONCE AGAIN TO START A FRESH BRAND NEW "MAP OF THE MONTH!"

THIS TIME WE'RE LOOKING AT THE ROAD MAPS ISSUED BY THE CONTINENTAL OIL CO. OR "CONOCO" FROM PONCA CITY, OK.

THE FAMILIAR CONOCO TRIANGLE COMES FROM AN EARLIER BRAND NAMED MARLAND WHO BOUGHT OUT THE CONTINENTAL OIL CO. BACK IN 1929 AND HAD USED THE TRIANGLE LOGO FROM 1920-1929. ALSO IN THE CONOCO FAMILY OF AFFILIATES ARE THE NAMES KAYO, JET, DOUGLAS, MALCO, WESTERN, DS (DIRECT SERVICE), MILEAGE, HUSKY AND OF COURSE MARLAND. IF ANY ROAD MAP EXAMPLES OF THE AFFILIATE NAMES ARE OUT THERE PLEASE POST THESE AS WELL.

SO LET'S JUMP RIGHT ON IN AND GET THIS MOTM #15 ON THE ROAD!

THANKS!

Some of these sites are in English.
