Sapp Brothers

Has a coffee pot made out of a water tower.  Legend had it that steam comes out of the spout and the light on top blinks.  But the gal inside the store didn't think it did that anymore.  Sapp Bros. could make some coin if they would sell hats and shirts and keychains, etc. with the signature coffee pot, but for some reason they just don't want to.  Sometimes they give hats as loyalty premiums, but they refuse to sell them.  So some people wind up with six hats and some people get no hats.  Ah, the social injustice of it all! 

A smaller (but still big) version was made for the company patriarch's birthday so he could have one at his lake house, but she didn't know if it ever made it there or was still at the petroleum division.  All this was explained to me by a friendly young clerk in the store.

There's also a mobile chapel at the foot of the coffee pot.
