“Welcome” Sticker is Available Now

The Seminole Producer and your Chamber of Commerce office have received quantities of “Welcome to Oklahoma” bumper stickers. All you have to do to get one, or more if you need them, is to drop by. They’re free. Harry Wilson, state tourist director, is hopeful that some 150,000 automobiles will display the stickers. “What a great image for Oklahoma it would be,” Wilson said, “for our out-of-state visitors to see this welcome on thousands of Oklahoma cars while they’re vacationing here. It would be a tremendous act of warm hospitality.”
