Sol was a traveling peddler of Dry Goods between Kansas and Oklahoma in his early days in America before opening his first department store. It has been widely told that Rodgers and Hamerstein created the immigrant peddler character with the wagon in the Broadway Musical "OKLAHOMA" (played by actor Eddie Albert in the movie version) after hearing of Sol Bayouth's occupation of being a immigrant peddler with a horse and wagon in early Oklahoma.
