Historical Highlight (July 2018)

Did You Know...?
​Sapulpa the Oil City of the Southwest sign was in operation. “It contains 700 electric bulbs…one light following another until all of them are a blaze of glory, followed by the red lights, which indicates flowing oil wells, the wells being in the letters ‘O’, ‘I’, and ‘L’. No other such flash of gladness and advertisements of products of a great community is to be seen throughout the state, and the people here are proud of this first flash of great advertising matters to be seen in announcing the wonders of the metropolis of the oil world.” (Sapulpa Evening Light, July 8, 1911).
