We know not what was in the
minds of the ancient Seminoles when
they selected the name Okemah for
their village, which, after the advent
Of the white settlers thirty years ago
was TO grow into one OF Oklahoma's
most prosperous and thriving farm
ing and cattle raising communities.
and, within the last few weeks has
developed into one OF the important
oil pools of the M!d-Continent field,
for the word "Okemah" literally in
terpreted from the Seminole tongue,
means something foretold," an old
prophecy-come true!
In the beginning. nature was un-
usually bountiful with her gifts to
Okemah and surrounding country
with her well watered rolling prairie
lands capable of producing marvel
and crops of grain, cotton farm prod

\ and in the midst OF all this plenty,
n there has developed one of the most
y progressive and up-to-date small cit
les TO be found anywhere in the en-
tire southwest.
In short-Okemah Is n small town
full OF "big town people," all alive
to their opportunities, and quick to
take advantage OF and make the
most OF their splendid blessings. ?
Today, Okemah stands facing n
wonderful era OF prosperity. surpas-
