that cool old dinosaur mascot, great marketing idea that few, if any, other oil companies have ever achieved

after they were no longer useful for advertising, the company tried to get them into the Smithsonian, or anywhere that would take them. Most found homes in different places, but one was STOLEN! Never recovered! So, some one has a Ornitholestes in their back yard

these dinosaurs were so successful at promoting the oil company, they were the only exhibit at the forward looking world's fair, that focused on the past

50 million people visited that exhibit, it's estimated, and that made it one of the most popular exhibits. Then they hit the road on a tour of American shopping centers
