Oil was discovered in many parts of America in the early 1900's. What a difference that product made in the lives of the people. One of the early style pumps was the one in the above photo. It was made of metal and designed to pump at a designated speed. Sometimes there would be several hundred of these pumps in a small geographic area. Although the noise from these pumps was deafening, it sounded a lot like money to those who heard them. You don't see many of these types working today. Photograph them while you can.
