    Ohio Oil had been involved in numerous successful oil
    production ventures and found they needed even more retail outlets for their
    products. In 1930 Ohio Oil purchased Transcontinental Oil,
    a refiner/marketer
    that had marketed gasoline under the trademark,
    Marathon,
    the Pheidippides
    (Greek Runner) trademark and the
    Best in the long run
    slogan since 1920. They
    had acquired the brand from a Pittsburgh operation, Riverside Oil Company that
    we believe to be a forerunner of Republic Oil Company. Transcontinental sold
    gasoline under the Marathon name across the Midwest and South, from North
    Carolina to New Mexico. Transcontinental can best be remembered for a
    significant “first” when in 1929 they opened several Marathon stations in Dallas,
    Texas, in conjunction with Southland Ice Company’s
    “Tote’m”
    stores (later 7
