Thursday, September 17, 1908, Sapulpa Light: Organizing Loan Company
“The Sapulpa Loan and Realty Company is the name of a corporation that is being organized in Sapulpa. F.E. Farmer the real estate man is shoving the project and is meeting with considerable success. The corporation will be capitalized for $50,000. The object of the corporation is to loan money on Sapulpa realty to persons who will build. Some people are being prevented from building in Sapulpa at present on account of not being able to get loans and it is the object of the corporation to supply this demand. It is much more difficult to get loans on realty in additions to Sapulpa than in the old townsite. The company being organized will be controlled by Sapulpa men who will have confidence in Sapulpa’s addition as well as in the government townsite.”
