Meadville Corporation

The Meadville Corporation was an oil company based in Haverford, Pennsylvania. It was founded in 1930[1] in Elizabeth, New Jersey.[2] Its retail gas stations were branded as Merit and could be found throughout the Northeastern United States. For many years, Amerada Hess had a large stake in the company. In 2000, Hess acquired the remainder of the Meadville Corporation and rebranded its 178 Merit gas stations as Hess.[3] Their logo was a red "M" with one of its sides cut off, making it appear as |\/.
