OH Well I clicked on your locator drop down and sure enough I saw Sinclair stations in NM AZ UT an CO. I sure don't remember seeing any on my trips. I remember here in TX they were all over the place.

Also remember TX had Humble and most rest of the country had ESSO. All though in TX the stations was Humble the gas was called Esso for reg and Esso Extra for Ethal then name was I believe was Enco and finally Exxon.[/quote]

Maybe they're not in Texas but they have a strong presence in the west. I've driven from IL to CA saw Sinclair stations in every state on those trips. I notice stuff like that because I collect (among other things)Sinclair signs and gas pump globes.

Esso was forced to use the Enco name in some markets because the Esso name infringed on other Standard companies territories. The other Standards successfully used the argument that ESSO was the phonetic spelling of the letters S and O which they held the marketing rights to S O in their territories because the letters S O stood for Standard Oil.
