Thursday, October 3, 1918, Sapulpa Herald: Double Your Bond Quota
“Some Sapulpa are wondering what quota of Liberty bonds they should purchase during the coming drive. The answer is easy, two for one. If you bought a hundred-dollar bond in the Third Liberty loan drive, buy a two-hundred dollar bond this time. If you didn’t buy your full quota before, buy double what your quota was…Every day’s delay of the war means additional hundreds of American boys planted on foreign soil three thousand miles from home…Double what you bought before! And volunteer your subscription!”
Monday, October 3, 1927, Sapulpa Herald: Rain Cause of 3 Auto Crashes Here Saturday
“The terrible downpour Saturday night caused three cars to collide on a down town street. Dickey Walsh the call boy for the Frisco was the driver of one of the cars and J.M. Lemon and C.A. Hengst were the drivers of the other two cars. Walsh stated that he did not have a windshield wiper on his car and he could not see the other two cars until he had already collided with the rear of Lemon’s car. The fender of Hengst’s car was struck by the Walsh car. Damage to Lemon’s car resulted in one of the fenders being knocked off and a rear wheel broken. No serious damages were done to Hengst car…”
Thursday, October 3, 1945, Democrat News: Bristow Farmer’s Story Featured in National Magazine
“Bob Moore, who lives near Bristow in Creek County, is among a group of farmers featured in an illustrated article in the October issue of Capper’s Farmer, entitled ‘Better Gate Latches.’ Anybody who uses gates will vote for better latches. The effort wasted and the exasperation generated by the common kind is proof of the need…Here’s a post-mounted latch installed by Bob Moore. The hooked-loop hangs on the top rail to hold the gate shut. When not in use, the latch either drops against the post or turns over backward to rest on the top fence plank. Moore has several such latches. His gates are made of welded boiler flue, with plank slats. Lots fences are made of steel pipe posts and 16-foot 2 by 6’s for rails.”
