Another view of the downtown skyline, this one likely at dusk with an extended exposure time, as indicated by the streaked taillights in the lower left. The buildings in the background are the same as the ones in the previous two views.

The description states:
OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA
Beautiful skyline of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Oklahoma City is believed to be the largest city in area in the Nation.
–By this time, the 1960s, the claim to size was possibly still valid, but currently the largest city in the contiguous 48 states is Jacksonville, Florida, 147 square miles larger than Oklahoma City.
There are several Alaskan cities which are larger than either of the above, by virtue of their land area encompassing the entire county or regional boundaries. These cites are for the most part sparsely populated.

Continuing with night views of Oklahoma City, this one features the nearby Main Street business district as it looks during the evening business hours. The buildings appear brilliantly lit because of the long exposure time, as revealed by the car headlights in the lower right.

–The car present in the photo indicate this card is from the 1960s.

In contrast to the previous image, this one is taken from almost the same location, showing the fountain as it looks lit up at night, with the Park Avenue buildings illuminating the background.

The description states:
PARK AVENUE
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Park Avenue at night, with the fountain and pool in the foreground.
–This photo is also likely from the 1960s.

This postcard begins a week of views in the eponymous capital of Oklahoma. This particular view of Park Avenue shows the park and fountains and the three and a half block length of the road. Crossing just past the fountains is Latting Circle. It appears from the more current photo that there has been a clock installed at the edge of the fountain in more recent years.

The description on the back states:
PARK AVENUE
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Looking east on Park Avenue, one of the beautiful and principal avenues in the heart of downtown Oklahoma City.
–The cars present in the photo indicate this card is from the 1960s.

Today presents a folio of the amazing gun collection of J.M. Davis, who spent a lifetime selecting and displaying the tens of thousands of items shown below. Most notable is the fact that there are no duplicates in the collection, which covers several centuries of gun making history.
The collection is shown here in it’s late 1940’s location, the Mason Hotel in Claremore, OK, which Davis purchased both for the hotel itself and as the display venue for his growing collection. At this time, the collection was more than 15,000 items. Over time the collection outgrew even the numerous rooms and corridors of the hotel, and a new building was constructed specifically to house the collection: the J.M. Davis Arms and Historical Museum. The hotel was later closed and has since been demolished.
 












The last image (from the back of the folio) is of the nearby memorial to Will Rogers, the actor, humorist, journalist and aviator of the early part of the century who was born and lived nearby.
These colorized photos date from the late 1940’s.
