Oklahoma City, Governor’s Mansion
Unused Mid-Continent News Co. card 2775 boasts that the Mansion “is located near the State Capitol Building and is a part of what is coming to be a pretentious group of state buildings.” We’re not sure they would use that same term now. Grade: 2

Indian Symbols
The name of the State of Oklahoma derives from Choctaw words “Okla” (people) and “humma” (red). Will the state need to rename itself when it is no longer politically acceptable to refer to people by the colour of their skin? As in, Washington Redskins? Has the card been verified for accuracy? Unused card. Grade: 1
