TEXAS POSTCARDS Type: Linen PostcardSubject: Oil Wells in TexasVerse: 'Down in Texas' written by Elmer Fisk in 1917 (see notes below) Postal Cancellation Year: unpostedPublisher: E.C. Kropp Co. MilwaukeeCountry of Manufacture: United StatesCondition: Fine condition as shown in photosNote: When Texas experienced its second great oil boom in 1917, a word wrangler named Elmer Fisk felt moved to poetry. He wrote a piece of doggerel called "Down in Texas" that captured what the rest of the nation wanted to believe about the Lone Star State's petroleum boom towns, places like the aptly named Ranger in Eastland County. This poem appears on a variety of styles of postcards by several different publishers. This Card was published by E.C. Kropp Milwaukee. It shows only views of Texas oilfields around the verse.
