Description

  • Content Description: Photograph used for a newspaper owned by the Oklahoma Publishing Company. Caption: "An excavation crew, digging in the alley behind the John A. Brown Co., in downtown Oklahoma City, has struck oil. The oil, about 11,000 gallons, was found in a 22,000 tank buried 20 feet below the ground. Local officials said the tank was probably put in the ground around 1926, when railroads came through and brought in oil for the heating of the downtown buildings. They would dump the oil in the buried tanks. (overhead shot of the tank being pulled out of alley)"
