WHAT WICHITA OFFERS To THE CAPT
ITALIST AND HOMESEEKER,

The greater the improvements and con-
veniences a city offers the more valuable
becomes the realty, and the more desira-
BILE is that place for residence. The in
creasing business of city forces these i'm
provements to be made and which estab-
fishes its permanency beyond all question.
Cities grow only where countries are de-
veloped When Illinois commenced to
develop Chicago commenced to grow.
When Minnesota improved, Minneapolis
and st. Paul increased III population.
When California was settled San Fran
cisco grew rapidly; and when Missouri in
creased in population st. Louis likewise
increased, and the future will show nat
ural increase in all these cities. The nat
ural law of tribute from the country trib-
utary to these cities compelled this to be
so. and the reason that the country paid
tribute to these cities was because the
conveniences for business and advantages
offered were superior TO any other, and
