Yes, I think you are right. I recall the horse from somewhere - I grew up in Oregon, born and raised. Jim Potts says Mobile (I think) bought them out. His passion is old stations and memorabelia (sure that's not the correct spelling) He posted the Magnolia Petroleum Company photo on his site for me, very nice man. he's at www.oldgas.com if interested in that sort of thing.
