January’s “Historical Advertisements” this month in our history show the businesses, sales, and events happening in our local stores. On January 18, 1935 a page of advertisements stood out among the articles: Sapulpa Gas Co., Rogers Bread, G&W Bowling Alleys, and Davis ‘Joe’ Grocery. The Sapulpa Gas Co. featured an image of Uncle Sam stating, “Your government is rolling up its sleeves to help you live better in an Automatic Gas Home…Start today to modernize your home.” Rogers Bread said, “Rogers Grandma’s Bread, the richest bread in the world!” G&W Bowling Alleys wanted you to visit their business and said, “Keep fit by bowling. Free instructions for beginners. Women especially invited.” ‘Joe’ Grocery said their Saturday meat special prices were “round steak, per lb, 15 cents; beef roast, per lb, 8 cents; bacon, no. 1 sliced, no rind, per lb, 29 cents.”
