[…] The Pegasus, Mobil’s dauntless mascot—it commands the motorist’s attention everywhere it’s seen. Blazing its way into the sky on a trail of hot neon or affixed to a station building in the form of pressed tin or enameled steel, it’s been a familiar brush stroke on highways such as Route 66 for well over fifty years. Within the category of petroleum trademarks, there has never been another corporate trademark like it, and there will never be again. […]

My grandfather Harry C. Flechsig Sr. did the art work for the first Pegasus sigh and commercial advertising. His company was Harry C. Flechsig Advertising Art,
9 East 40th Street, New York City. This office was two blocks from Grand Central Station. Opened when the building was completed in 1910-1913. He also did art work for Mazola Cooking Oil, Veedol motor oil, (that is the oil used in the Wright Bros. first plane)
Standard Oil Co. and many other old companies. I have many of his original art work that I have been donating to the companies that are still in buisness.

My oldest memory,
is from Wintertime around 1976 or ’77.
Our car ran out of gas and we were stuck,
somewhere around the old streets of Lamar and Corinth.

It was snowing, and I remember being able to see Downtown,
and the Pegasus atop the Skyline.

It was the highest object in the sky.

I still think about that time, to this day.

The Pegasus is the FIRST symbol I speak of
when pointing out landmarks to a newcomer.

I hate to see it moved to the Omni.

Proud to be a Dallas Texan.
