I applied for a job at Bartlesville, but some other more deserving person got the job. My time there was spent in the military, and I enjoyed all of it. BTW, the fellow sitting accross from the dealer sure looks like gramps. I wonder........ No, I didn’t work for Phillips, but family members did.

It went pretty cheap. Not all public private partner ships are bad.

In a colonial State like Montana there just isnt the money to keep our artifacts here.

My fault. I was asking olredtrk, whether he was with Phillips Petroleum in Oklahoma. I am aware you were with the Phillips Foundation. Words can be as confusing as paintings with in artful brush strokes. ;) Travis, I was unclear. My fault. I was asking olredtrk, whether he was with Phillips Petroleum in Oklahoma.

Nonetheless, you get the idea... It was pretty cool to run across a depiction of old-time Great Falls in Tulsa. And, yes, that was while I was with Phillips. aha — that will be changed, though I am not actually sure this is the same painting — I seem to recall the other one had a different perspective (looking straight-on at the dealer, players to the side).

The title should be "The Faro Layout in the Mint Saloon." Were you with Phillips in Oklahoma? olredtrk, look here: http://www.bcvc.net/faro/olafseltzer1.jpg

Hopefully someone can put a link up. I was wondering what the place looked like and perhaps learn why my grandfather spent so much time and money in that establishment. He apparently knew Mr. Russell, and most likely Mr. Seltzer. Unfortunately his comments about Kid Russell are not repeatable in mixed company.......so I won't. I find the works of both men fascinating and use their works as backgound on my desktop. I also concur with your evaluation of Oklahoma. Having lived and worked there, I came to love many things about the state........tornadoes not included. I’ve been trying to find on the internet the painting of Seltzer’s you describe.
