I recently purchased a c. 1930 Texas map from Simms
Oil Company, Dallas, Texas. I grew up in Dallas and
I've never heard of Simms Oil Company. They used a
triangle logo with the point down with Simms across
the triangle. The map shows three examples with Gas,
Oil, or Lube under the name Simms on each example.
One of the Gas examples shows an enormous set of wings
in a V from the triangle with Red Wing written between
the wings. Can anyone shed some light on this oil
company and its history?
