Editing Woodward, Oklahoma (section)

==Businesses==
Between 1934 and 1999, the Trego's Westwear Company of Woodward manufactured Western cut clothing for customers all over the world. Rodeo and movie stars were customers of the company and costumes were frequently made for [[Dale Evans]] and [[Roy Rogers]]. As dress became more casual in the 1980s and 1990s, interest in Western wear waned. Trego's closed its manufacturing plant in 1995.{{citation needed|date=October 2023}}

On May 18, 1956, Charles Woodward Pappe, an entrepreneur from Kingfisher, opened the second Top-Hat Drive-In Restaurant in the United States, which was the precursor to the [[Sonic Drive-In]]. A few months earlier, Pappe had met Troy Smith, while visiting friends in [[Shawnee, Oklahoma]]. With Pappe's inspiration, Sonic was founded and eventually became one of the largest chain of fast food restaurants in the US.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Sonic Drive-In: A History {{!}} Oklahoma Historical Society |url=https://www.okhistory.org/learn/sonic |access-date=2024-06-15 |website=Oklahoma Historical Society {{!}} OHS |language=en-us}}</ref>
