Hey relax! This is 1890, right here in Oklahoma! First, the Big Beez staked that choice piece, there yonder on the Big River. And then he got more up, and downstream too. And now he's filed for those 500,000 acres of open prairie! Heck, main streets and store fronts and horses and buggies, sure they'll come in time. And I even hear a Mr. Daimler, over in the old world, is workin' on some kinda horseless carriage or somethin? Heck, the world is a changin,' even right here in Oklahoma!
By the way, Mr. Beez, can I lend ya a quarter? |
