There have been several English capitalists
who, visiting this city at Il end of their ex-
tended tours through Canada and the United
States, were struck at once with the colu-
manding power of our location as q com
merclal and manufacturing center, and at
once invested largely in city property. But
two years ago Mr.. F. J. Moore, wealthy
EngliShman, came here and cautiously de
cided to invest only in the surrounding farm
property; which he did, buying something
over :, 900 acres. He then went on to Colo
RADIO and bought the '!Silver Plume gold
and silver mine about three miles from
Georgetown. Recently, however, he visited
change which had taken place convinced bin
that his couutrymen had been right in ii cir
estimates OF Wichita, and he wrong in his.
So he forthwith began buying city property
for himself and his countrrmen. He then
formed a co-partnership with Messrs H. ".
