EVERYBODY COMING TO WICHITA
William Deerin2. the Great Harvester Manu-
facturer, Locating Here.

/
| facturer, Locating Here.
An EAGLE reporter learned yesterday
| from the very best authority that William
| Deering, the head OF the great harvester
works of that name, had rented one of the
argest buildings in Wichita for the pur
! pose of establishing branch warehouse
| here for the sale and distribution of his
! harvesters all through southern Kansas,
New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, north
ern Texas and No-Man's Land Thus it is
that one OF the shrewdest manu-
| day selects Wichita as the very
best place he could find to control the
trade of the southwest. Mr.. Deering did
not select Wichita because he could get
bonus for so doing. He got none asked
none, and it is doubtful whether more
than three men knew he was coming here
till he had the building rented aud the
contract for it closed. He came here,
solely, because he recognized in the Peer
less Princess the future great commercial
metropolis of the southwest. The build
ing which he has selected is located on
North Water street and is large enough TO
contain 5000, 900 worth of his goods. It
will be fitted up for his use at once so that
he will be ready to distribute his goods
from here in time to catch the trade of
northern Texas which will commence
early in April. As stated before Willibm
Scoring is one of the shrewdest manufac-
turers in the United States. Forty years
ago he was an obscure Irish country black
smith; today he is millionair ten times
l.. a -
a very shrewd business mind he could not
have attained to this prominence. IL IS no
wonder then that MS selection OF Wschita
as distributing point for
the great southwest would be accepted
as a splendid compliment TO the city by
those who have labored for years TO make
il what IL is today, the shadow, only, Of
what it is TO be in the future
What does Mr.. behring's move meant
1t simply means that the Mccormick
folks, the Walter A Woods folks, the
Minneapolis folks and the Osborn lolks
must follow. II they do not follow Deer
ing 10 Wichita they cannot compete for
the trade OF the southwest, and these
shrewd manufacturers are not yet pre-
pared 70 throw up their hands or set idly
by and see the trade of the great wheat
belt of the United States in the hands
of one man. All these firms have
houses in Kansas City. and so
has Deering They cannot deliver
goods 10 the farmers of Southern Kansas,
Oklahoma and Texas as cheaply as the
firm which delivers from Wichita: hence,
they will be compelled TO operate from the
same point that Deering operates from Il
they hope 10 compete with him Five
years ago there was not beer distributing
point in Kansas Anheuser came TO Wich-
ita and got the trade OF the southwest.
Blatz and Pabst tried IN vain 20 corn pete
with Anheuser from Kansas City, bat they
found out al last that in order 10 be sue
cessful, they must come 10 Wichitz and !.
locate AS near the point Of consumption as
Anheuser did. and the result IS that these
two firms have come here. or in other 4
words, they have been forced TO come here 4
IN order 10 De able 10 compete successfully 4
with their rivals History always repeats I.
itself, and the Osborn. the Mccormick. the i
Minneapolis apd the Woods companies I
must follow DeeriEg 70 the frontier OF
the commercial TERRITORY II they hope % he &
able 10 compete with him.
