Article about these Knox Oil glasses:

Readers with good memories recall that the Acee Blue Eagle drinking glasses, mentioned in my column recently, were given as a gasoline premium in the 1950s and \'60s.

Several still have the glasses, and some even have the pitcher and wooden tray issued with them.

Memories are not quite so good when it comes to which company had the glasses: Readers swear it was Texaco. Or Hudson. Or Champlin. Or Apco. Or Knox. Or Deep Rock. Or Kerr-McGee.

It was Knox Oil Co. of Enid, which had stations statewide.

In the early 1960s, Kerr-McGee bought Knox, although the Knox founder\'s two sons use the family name on oil companies in Texas and Illinois.

Helen Snyder has a 1950s brochure which explains that a customer got a free glass by buying 10 gallons or more of \"Knox-less Super 90 Regular\" or \"Knox-less Super 100 Ethyl. \" The eight Indians, whose portraits were painted for Knox by Oklahoma Indian artist Acee (Alex) Blue Eagle McIntosh, were Bacon Rind, an Osage; Dull Knife, a Cheyenne; Hunting Horse, a Kiowa; Hentoh, a Wyandotte; Ruling, a Pawnee; Geronimo, an Apache; Quanah Parker, a Comanche; and Sequoyah, a Cherokee.

The frosted glasses were so popular, Knox later offered clear-glass glasses and pitchers, and then a china dinnerware set using the same eight drawings, George Covey said. On the back of the plate is \"Knox fine china, (name of Indian on front of plate) by Acee Blue Eagle. \" The service for eight included dinner, bread-and-butter and salad plates; soup bowl; and cup and saucer.

Weldon Ford, who operated an advertising agency in Enid, came up with the glasses idea, and coordinated it for Knox.

Acee Blue Eagle (1907-1959), a Creek-Pawnee, grew up drawing Creek Indians, and later developed a graceful style of painting that idealized Indian life. As a New Deal artist he painted a series of murals in government buildings across Oklahoma. He attended the University of Oklahoma, and established the art department at Bacone College in Muskogee.

In 1934 he was commissioned to paint a mural of a buffalo (bison) hunt for the battleship USS Oklahoma. It was destroyed in 1941 when the Oklahoma was bombed at Pearl Harbor.
