" Humble introduced the Enco brand in 1960 in Oklahoma and surrounding states, to replace Humble's subsidiary Oklahoma and Pate brands.

Consequently, stations in Ohio were rebranded as Humble, and remained so until the Exxon brand came into use.

In 1966, the U. S. Justice Department ordered Humble Oil to " cease and desist " from using the Esso brand at stations in several southeastern states, following protests from Standard Oil of Kentucky ( Kyso ), which was a Standard of California subsidiary in the process of rebranding its Standard stations to Chevron.

Humble Oil also used similar logotypes, use of the Humble name in all Enco and Esso advertising, and uniform designs for all stations regardless of brand.

But Humble Oil still faced stiff competition from such national brands such as Shell and Texaco, which at that time was the only company to market under one brand name in all 50 states.

By the late 1960s, Humble officials realized that the time had come to develop a new brand name that could be used nationwide.

In 1972, it was largely replaced in the U. S. by the Exxon brand after it bought Humble Oil, while Esso remained widely used elsewhere.

In states where it was restricted from using the Esso name, the company marketed under the Humble or Enco brands.
