    Remarks: 
    This is one of nearly 200 small replicas of Bartholdi's Statue of Liberty (IAS record 76003645) placed around the country as part of the Boy Scouts of America's 40th anniversary (1950). According to a March 1986 Fact Sheet from the Boy Scouts of America (on file in IAS), the idea for the project originated with Jack Whitaker, then Scout Commissioner of the Kansas City Area Council. The copper statues were manufactured by Friedley-Voshardt Co. (Chicago, IL) and purchased through the Kansas City Boy Scouts office.
    Funds for the Cushing statue were raised by the Scouts with contributions from local students amounting to $103.33. The full $311.78 fee for the statue was paid by the Chamber of Commerce who was later reimbursed by the students. The City of Cushing constructed the pedestal and base. IAS files contain related articles from the Cushing Daily Citizen, May 4, 1950 and July 2, 1950.
