Description: Vintage c1920s Postcard Oilfield Scene Near Okmulgee Oklahoma Oil Derricks Original vintage postcard - white border circa 1920s Published by CT American Art Oil Derricks as far as the eye can see! Discovery of oil at nearby Morris in 1907 stimulated expansion of Okmulgee, and attracted several new industries to town. These included three glass factories, a bottle factory, and foundry and machine shops. Five local refineries were operational by the early 1920s. These industries were a catalyst for growth: The population was 4,176 in the 1910 census, but the city boomed to approximately 35,000 people during the 1920s. A newspaper article from this era claimed Okmulgee had more millionaires per capita than anyplace else in Oklahoma. The Okmulgee Chamber of Commerce has said the town had more millionaires per capita than any other place in the entire country. But decreasing oil production and lower prices, the coming of the Great Depression, and other factors caused the population to shrink to 17,097 by the 1930 census. . . . more on the web Condition: Very Good condition -unposted ~ - please review the photos Look at my feedback and bid with confidence! ~ I combine shipping ~ Thanks for looking! i11421 Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
