III the northern limits OF the city.
Oklahoma City has an area OF
seventeen and one-half square miles,
while populous districts are built up
outside the city limits proper. The
city is capable OF indefinite expan-
sion in all directions, there being
no natural limitations to its popu-
lation area. 1t is fitted by nature
to become the largest center OF
population in the Southwest.
The jobber always the pioneer OF
industrialism, has been engaged in
the important work OF developing
this trade territory and has opened
up here a new field for factories.
Hence Oklahoma City is enjoying a
manufacturing era that is substan-

tined to be the golden city OF the
Southwest. The following year, 1890,
when the first government census

One OF the great sources of
wealth to the state is being directed
from central offices here, as Okla
homa City has taken the center of
the oil fields OF the state.
The great Healdton field to the
south, Blackwell to the north, Cush-

Glen Pool and Okmulgee to the
east; while the west is now being
developed. From these fields nat

Oklahoma City enjoys a nearly
ideal climate, the mean temperature
for the month OF January being $50
degrees, and for August 1874 de-

perature OF 59.4 degrees. The aver
age annual rainfall is 3l,59 inches.
The altitude is l,275 feet.

distinction Of being the financial
as we'll as the political center OF
the state. The city is the logical
banking center because, first, it is
the largest and most centrally locat-
ed city in the state; second, it has
the best railroad communication
with the largest towns and cities OF
the state which enables more OF the
other banking points in the state to
get credit here for transit items
sooner than they could by sending
them to any other reserve city,
which fact is resulting in the send
ing to this city OF large volume OF
business which formerly has been
sent to Kansas City, ST. Louis and
other out-of-the-state reserve cities.
