Historical Highlight (April 2023)

April’s “Historical Advertisements” this month in our history show the businesses, sales, and events happening in our local stores. On April 6, 1953, the advertisements in the Sapulpa papers were simple, and little gimmicks. A few advertisements stood out among the articles: Reel Drug Store, National Concrete Co., Budweiser, Martin Body & Fender Co., Mogab’s Appliances, and Van Landingham Cabinet Shop. At the Reel Drug Store, “if it’s drugs, we have it! With free motor delivery, just phone 784.” The National Concrete Co. located at Walnut & Frisco Tracks had the “‘extra strength’ for any size job with free estimates.” The larger beer, Budweiser, proclaimed “In Oklahoma, when you know your beer, it’s bound to be bud.” “You wreck ‘em-we fix ‘em, your body and fender man for over 30 years,” see George E Martin at 203 E Hobson. Found at 19 S Park, Mogab’s Appliances has “reliable TV repairs.” Lastly, need new homes and cabinets shop? Go to Bob Van Landingham’s.
