exceptions to the rule. There is
no sane man today who would
make the same sort of "A state

1t has weathered the turbulent
days of financial stress and has
entered upon an era of prosper
ity and growth such as never
before been experienced by an
A mer can municipality. The
Chamber of Commerce is con
stantly bringing new factories
and institutions to the city, and
this community is now the first
city in the state from the stand
point of number of factories.
Big oil companies are investing
in real estate here; their heads
are building palatial homes and
the money that is being made by
the millions out of oil is going
into various lines Of business,
such as banking, manufacturing,
etc. There is now much talk of
network of interurban systems,
and there is every reason to be-
lieve that a vast amount of coil

the electric lines from Tulsa to

Keeping Money at Home.
The oil men have made their
money in Tulsa and they are
going to stay with Tulsa. Big
companies are putting up their
own warehouses and office build
ings, and these structures are Of
a costly and permanent nature.
Tulsa today is truly the "rich-
est city in the world" For many
weeks now this city has led North
America in the percentage of
bank clearing increase. Last week
our increase was l57 per cent.
The nearest approach to this rec
ord was made by the city of
Davenport, Iowa, which showed
an increase of 100 per cent. But
the cities that are running closest
to Tulsa in this respect are only
having a spasmodic "boom." One

Developments within the past
ten days prove beyond all ques-
ton of doubt that it is the oil
business that has made Tulsa III
the past and it is the same III
dustry that is going to play a
large part in the future develop
ment of the "richest city in the
world" "
Harry f. Sinclair, a Tulsa oil
producer, has organized a $780,
100000 corporation that is to be
the largest Independent refining
and producing corporation in the
history of the world. 1t stands
to reason that the main plants
and offices of this concern will
be in Tulsa. This one institution
alone will have a marvellous effect
on Tulsa's growth in the future.
The refining business is rapidly
becoming one of the foremost in
dustries in the world, largely on
account of the ever-increaslng de-
mand for gasoline and fuel oil.
1t is no idle statement to say that
some day in the not distant fu-
ture the Sinclair Oil Refining
company will take rank with the
Standard Oil company. How
much money and how many peO-
pie do you suppose such a con
Germ would bring to Tulsa. 1t
cannot be overestimated.
Not a Mushroom.
And this is only one of many
future prospects," In the Glenn
pool development days investors
were slow about buying Tulsa
property. They advanced the ar
gument that the history of oil
towns showed that they blossom
ed for a time and then died out.
In large measure this has been
true, but Tulsa is one of the few

dren of this city, there would be
more than 81 900 for every single
person. This per capita wealth
cannot be equalled by any com
munity in the world.
Population Over 10000.
The recent religious census of
the city showed that Tulsa has
a population of more than 10000
persons. This does not include
the suburbs of Kendall and Sand
Springs, which together would
bring the grand total to more
than 10000. New homes are be-
ing built within the corporation
limits at the rate of two a day,
and this pace will be maintained
for many months yet, as the de-
mand for residences is increasing
rather than decreasing. The fact
that such a demand exists, and
grows, in the face of the enor-
nous number of homes being
erected, proves conclusiveIy that
the city's population is incrcas-
ing at rate never before heard
OF since the community was
founded.
Tulsa is city of young men.
Any young man Of intelligence
can make good here. There is
plenty of room for him, whether
he has any capital or not. There
are more wealthy young men in
Tulsa, who made all their money
since coming here, than in any
other city of like size in the
world.
