Hope this Clears up the Reliance part of your question. Both are different companies and as far as I know has nothing to do with Great West Distributors .

1. Reliance antifreeze cans with the robots was.. Reliance Chemicals Limited. Montreal,Toronto,Winnipeg and Manitoba. Was sold all over Canada.

2. Reliance motor oil can. In 1949 Supertest bought out Crown Dominion Oils, Thayers Oil and Red Star Oil all from South Western Ontario and formed a new company called "RELIANCE". In 1959 Supertest absorbed all the station and rebranded them Supertest. As far as I know Reliance never made it out of SW Ontario and Supertest was only ever in Ontario and Quebec.
