Supertest had an outstanding logo. Another independent oil retailer was Beaver Oil, started by Donald J. Plumb and his father in Windsor. Don was also known for his collection of WWII-era aircraft that included a Stearman, a Spitfire, a Mustang and a Warhawk. After he was killed in the mid-'70s (flying the P-51 in Texas), Beaver was purchased by Shell Canada. The logo changed a couple of times before the brand was dropped.
Highway HOUSE. The Highway Tavern was at Walker and Tecumseh until it became the Penalty Box Two.
I believe Joe is correct. I distinctly remember Highway Tavern being on Walker @ Tecumseh as well. The title of this blog post had me wondering though.

Steve's was owned by Steve Brkovich, father of Mike Brkovich, who was a member of the Michigan State Spartans team that won the 1979 NCAA tournament.I remember the leather glove he had covering up that hand...creeped me out as a little kid!
