The Depew Independent May 7, 1920 Tulsa Boosters Visit Depew Tuesday morning the town was taken by storm when about 150 business men of Tulsa came up on to main street. They were accompanied by a fine band, which played several selections for our music hungry populace. Souvenirs were handed out to the little folks, who were very numerous owing to the fact that the teachers had dismissed school for the occasion. Clarence Douglas, Secretary of the Tulsa Chamber of Commerce, expressed himself to the Independent as being surprised at the building activity in Depew and prophesied that in the near future we would have "some town here." They left here shortly before twelve, west bound. ----- A dance was given Saturday night in the building recently vacated by the Independent, for the benefit of the ball team. There appeared to be more girls than there were boys and from a social standpoint the affair was a frost. Good order was maintained and the music was good. ----- Sammie Bregar Here to Box Sammie Bregar, Chicago feather-weight is to make his debut in Depew.
