with the exception of two or three
days until the day of the opening OF
/ the Midwinter show. With the ush-
ering in of the annual exposition came
\ a heavy snow and sleer storm This
element of the weather, however, has
not had a tendency to keep the at

have been as large as usual in years
gone before, and the matinee crowds

foodstuffs that are being given away.

effect people generally are interested on
the effect 1T will have on the various

more or less affected a great many
manufacturers of food stuffs, Topeka
has an institution which has been adj
vocating and advertising pure food ar
ticles ever since its organization. It's
the Topeka Pure Milk Co This coneern
has always given it's customers the very
purest of articles, and In addition has
always guaranteed 16 ounces to each
added to the gross. Visitors at the ex-
position should visit their booth and
inspect the products made by them. A
standing invitation is open for all to
visit their plant on Jackson street.

that Topeka has the largest creamery
in the world? The Continental Cream

not only the largest creamery in the
world but their products are marketed
all over the world, and are proven the
highest grade of butter possible for
man to make. Every print of their but
ter is given individual attention, and
when delivered to the consumer is
served in the most sanitary manner.
