A weekly update on the ins and outs of the museum. We showcase the "Artifact(s) of the Month" every 1st Wednesday. We highlight the "This Month in History..." every 2nd Wednesday. We see the sights of "Then and Now" in Sapulpa every 3rd Wednesday. And we share our moments in the museum world every 4th Wednesday.

September’s “Historical Advertisements” this month in our history show the businesses, sales, and events happening in our local stores. On September 27, 1971, ads ran for the Sapulpa businesses like Fulkerson’s Coin Command Laundry, Jack’s Barber Shop, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Clarence’s Auto Repair, and Ace Typewriter Co. At Fulkerson’s, 18 E Cleveland, wanted to remind the readers that “it’s convenient and economical for all members of the family!” and “it’s time for fall dry cleaning.” While waiting on dry cleaning, one could get a haircut at Jack’s, 19 E Dewey, with “haircuts the way you like ‘em!” In the mood for food but not to cook, Kentucky Fried Chicken, 501 S Main, said “bad day to cook, great day to bring home the dinner box.” But if in need of car care, Clarence’s, 118 E Lee, worked on “transmission, repair, general tune-ups, and now dependable towing service.” There were many ads for car care, but only one for typewriter repair: at Ace Typewriter Co., 2211 N Sapulpa Freeway, there’s “now two servicemen to handle your machine service-call us for sales and service of typewriters and adding machines.”
