International Petroleum Exposition dwarfs state fair in Tulsa
The International Petroleum Exposition filled 450000 square feet at the Tulsa Exposition Center and spilled onto adjacent acreage, drawing Lea County visitors led by A C Holder and Harold Rumels. The writer notes sensational exhibits from U S Steel and Skelly Oil, high tech drilling gear, and a nationwide oil industry focus on locating and producing oil, with a humorous local press contrast and a reaffirmation that Loving ton has ample oil resources.
