Description
Formed by Harry F. Sinclair in 1916, Sinclair Oil Corp. is one of the oldest continuous names in the oil industry. More than 75 years ago, the company created a marketing icon whose popularity with children and educational value remains to this day. Sinclairs famous Brontosaurus trademark made its debut at Chicagos 1934 Century of Progress Worlds Fair. Known more correctly as Apatosaurus, the green giant and his accompanying cast of dinosaurs were a huge success. Sinclairs Dino would become an enduring icon of successful marketing. Sinclair has long been a fixture on American roads with its dinosaur logo and mascot, an apatosaurus (Brontosaurus).
