Busy North Rusk Street in Sept. 1919. A number of men made their
entire living by hauling spring water in wood barrels ($1 per)  
by horse or mule drawn wagons.  When the oil boom started the   
population literally exploded in a matter of months and it would
have been impossible for all those people to survive had it not 
been for the spring water.                                      


Ranger street during oil boom era of 1919, it has been told
that a team of mules once drown in the mud on Main St.
