Newspaper article about the Oklahoma Historical Society

This is a newspaper clipping, detailing a notable social event hosted by a Historical Society, highlighting a visit by Mr. Harry L. George from St. Joseph, Missouri. Mr. George's influence led to the appropriation of $25,000 for a museum showcasing his vast collection. The Oklahoma Historical Society expresses gratitude for Mr. George’s contributions, which involve a photo display intended to make St. Joseph’s museum a cultural focal point. The article also mentions a unique embroidered deer skin coat from the Old Curiosity Shop in Seattle, dated August 24, 1911. This coat, originating from Indian needlework of the Pease River district, belonged to Julius Rath, a renowned world traveler from 1897 who embarked from St. Louis, covering about 500,000 miles globally. A portrait of Rath accompanies the coat, taken in Vancouver after completing 400,000 miles. The write-up congratulates St. Joe for the splendid spirit exemplified by Mr. George and his extensive collection.
