March’s “Historical Advertisements” this month in our history show the businesses, sales, and events happening in our local stores.
On March 4, 1971, a few advertisements stood out among the articles: Rule Furniture, Harrison, Morton’s, Masters and Stivers, and Sapulpa Monument Company.
At Rule Furniture, one could find on sale a Magnavox solid-state stereo phonograph; “perfect for small rooms, only 36” wide” and in “your choice of three styles” for only $149.50.
At Harrison, one could find a “new shipment of stripes-, solids-, and plaids-flairs in a wide choice of colors from $7 to $16.”
While at Morton’s, one could buy Jarman Rex-Flex fashionable dress shoes in black or brown tones for only $28.95.
Masters and Stivers offered “complete insurance service for fire, theft, liability, and personal belongings.”
When one needed “the reverence of a precious memory, choose a lovely monument for an everlasting tribute to a loved one” from Sapulpa Monument Company.
