Ups has made a whale of a lot of
money out of Oklahoma and
plowed more of it back for the
good of the community than
many of our millionaires. Give
him credit. Frank’s folks were as
poor as Choctaw hill country
tenant farmers. HU first Job was
pushing a razor at Creston, Iowa.
When he was 24 years old he
owned all of the barber shops in
Creston. He came to Oklahoma
with nothing and cut a swath in
the oil business which has made
Phillips Petroleum one of the
largest Independents In the Mid-
Continent area. We could use
more of him. He has been mel-
lowing these last few years.
Making money has lost some of
its pull and he is turning to
more lasting achievements. In
the next decade my guess is that
Frank Phillips will surprise you
with the fine things he does for
the state.—W. M. H.
