.AT NIGHT, the show grounds were ablaze with myriad lights, and some 500,000 people inspected the wares on display

HE International Exposition held Tin Tulsa, Oklahoma, during May attracted more than 500,000 people from all over the world. Some 2042 representatives from 54 foreign oil· producing nations attended the 14th IPE. Attendance records of previous shows were smashed during this Exposition with an exact count of 547,208 persons entering the grounds, as com· pared to the previous record of 395,352 who came to the 1953 show. A total of 58,208 visitors were recorded on the final day of the 14th IPE. Estimates of sales made during the IQ.day show run as high as half a billion dollars. The show was not only a reviewing stand for every conceivable product and service of the oil industry hut also part of a nation-wide observance of the lOOth anniversary of the first oil strike at Titusville, Pennsylvania by Edwin L. Drake in

THIS aerial shot of the Exposition Grounds depicts the vast scope of the exhibits representing every phase of the oil industry

LUFKIN'S exhibit (both photos below) consisted of oil well pumping units of every size, including the world's largest air balance unit, as well as all other oilfield machinery manufactured by Lufkin Foundry and Machine Company

August, 1859. Approximately a half-billion dollars worth of equipment and services were exhibited by some 550 companies. Among the new equipment on display for the first time were ultra-deep drilling and servicing rigs, special pumps of many varieties, pipeline construction equipment, glass fiber tanks, wireless perforators, and many others. All phases of the oil industry were represented in the exhibits, including exploration, production, pipeline, refin­ ing and petrochemical. Lufkin's exhibit drew thousands of visitors. Many of these guests were photographed, and THE LUFKIN LINE takes great pleasure in reproduc­ ing most of these snapshots in this issue. It is re­ gretable that all the pictures did not turn out to be of reproduction quality. Also, because of the large number of pictures taken, we are unable to print the total quantity in this one issue. However, in the issues to come, there will be some of these pictures used in our regular snapshot section. The 15th International Petroleum Exposition will be staged in
