COMMERCIAL AGENCIES.
Something About Successful Topeka
Concern.

There was a time in the history of
the wholesale business of the country
that commercial agencies were little
known and not generally used but as
the country developed and credit bust
ness increased it became a business
necessity to consult the agencies for
information in reference to the char
acter and financial standing of the re-
tail merchants before extending credit,
and today every wholesale merchant
is a subscriber to one or more agencies
that he may carry on a safe and sue
ceSSful business.
For many years the retail merchants
sustained losses for the want of in
formation concerning those to whom
they extended credit But the business
men of this country are progressive and
today agencies are found in all cities
throughout the country meeting this
long felt want, and Topeka is not the
exception. This city has a commercial
agency just entering its sixth year
which has the hearty support of the
merchants.
It is managed by the Strauss Agency.
They have combined with their Credit
Reference Work the Trust Book fea-
ture. The new edition delivered to the
subscribers this month will be the
Trust Book & Credit Reference"
which contains infOrma ton essential to
the success of every business firm in
the city.
The value of this system of report
ing to the individual subscriber is in
the practical application he makes OF
the information it contains to his own
business and the proper time to make
the application is when the credit is ap-
/ piled for and not after the account is
| opened and payment found to be slow
and unsatisfactory Hence the import
ance of every business firm in the city
| having a copy of this work for refer
! ence.
The Strauss Agency should be con-
/ graduated for their success in bring
! ing from infancy to full development a
! commercial system of such great i'm
portance to the business interests of
! Topeka.

ARMY OF CENSUS CLERKS.
Examination of 1Os Applicants to Be
Made in Topeka.

November 1921 10S Kansas men will
come to Topeka to take the civil service
examination, after passing which
majority of them hope to get positions
in the census bureau at Washington.
This crowd is composed of the men who
have been recommended for these posi-
tions by the Kansas senators and con-
greSSmen.
Each senator and congressman was
authorized to select six candidates and
six alternates for these c1erkships. The
first appointments of six candidates
was followed by the selection of six al
ternates, so in the event a regularly
recommended candidate fails in the ex-
animation the alternate may take his
place. If both should fail then another
selection must be made.
The list of men recommended Tor
Kansas by the representatives in the
senate and in congress are now in the
hands of the director of the census,
w r. Merriam, and will not be made
public until the examination takes
place.
