Whiz Bang City, Oklahoma
Captain Billy’s Whiz Bang is the first magazine to have a “city” named after it.
The thriving little oil town of Oklahoma has been christened Whiz Bang City. The picture shown on this page is by courtesy of Vince Dillon, photographer of Fairfax, Okla. Upon close examination, “kind readers” note that all of the buildings are new and that a truck standing in front of the garage bears the sign Nitroglycerine. However, there is no connection between nitroglycerine and the Whiz Bang. It is true that we have an explosion, but ours is harmless, and used to blow out the spleen of the American human instead of Mother Earth.
Well, anyway, folk, here’s wishing many happy days to Whiz Bang City and its live citizens.
