In the Joplin, Missouri phone book, there are thirty or so listings for businesses called “Tri-State _______”.
“Tri-State” means, of course, “representing three states”.
The thing is, Joplin is part of a four-state area—Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas:
So, either these businesses were established way back before Oklahoma became a U.S. state in 1907, or I think someone’s getting a bad deal here.

I'm afraid it must be choice B, my friend. If they were established prior to OK statehood, then it would be "Tri-State and One-Territory Whatever" or even better, "Tri-State and Indian Territory Whatever".
At last check, our signature Whatever–"Husky or Maltese Whatever"-still exists too. So life is beautiful.
