The Artifact of the Month: “Popular Science” magazine from January 1947. On the cover are two fire trucks. These fire trucks featured are almost identical to the two historic fire trucks housed in our museum. The Sapulpa Fire Museum has a 1939 Ford fire truck and a circa 1950s La-France ladder fire engine. “Faster, huskier, and better-designed, they will help curb rising losses-and steal the smoke eaters’ show” welcome the new fire engines.
 
If you wish to see these fire trucks up close, be sure to stop in the Sapulpa Fire Museum.

Was surprised and glad to see you used my father (Lemuel Rhodes) old magazine.
