. . . industry Ponca was said to be built on oil, toil, and trouble. After the Oklahoma settlers arrived, oil be- came the cry of gold in the Middle West. Oil production developed in the Ponca Indian Reservation south of the city and in the Osage holdings in the east. With a seemingly limitless supply of crude oil available, E. W. AAarland began building a company which would handle oil from the well to its delivery as gasoline to the motorist. Today, thousands of resi- dents are employed by the city ' s two major oil companies for their livelihood. Ponca City also has three elevators which are capable of holding 540,000 bushels of grain; packing plants and a creamery which provide services for sur- rounding farming and stock-rais- ing activities. The city is also supplied with stores which keep the com- munity alive and growing. One may walk down main street and see grocery stores, dress shops, shoe shops, appliance stores, banks, pharmacies, paint stores, five and ten stores, and many more. This is Ponca City— a place of industry, business, work, and competition; ar d with industry The long, rolling grasslands of the Cherokee Outlet made it a perfect grazing land for hundreds of cattle. As a result of this, cattle raising has come close to oil as Oklahoma ' s most important industry. The initial oil well drilled in the Ponca City district has little to compare with today ' s modern derricks.
