The fifteenth annual meeting of the
Kansas Missouri Hotel Mems associa-
| ton will be held in Topeka Wednes-
day and Thursday of this week and
the event will bring to Topeka a num-
Der of the foremost hotel men and
caterers of the country. The associa-
ton was formed in Topeka fifteen
years ago. A few years later its scope
membership was enlarged and Mis-
souri, was taken into the association
and the name changed to the hyphen-
ated one which it bears at this time.
For time the association was a
s1ckly affair and the membership roll
did not increase as rapidly as the pro-
moterS had hoped that it would Then
a change came and since that time the
aSSo ciation has grown steadily until it
is the largest asso ciation of its kind in
the United States.
Its membership includes the names
of a number of the best known hotel
keepers in the United States and is
growing steadily in membership and
worth. 1t is probable that Colorado
and Oklahoma will be admitted to
membership in the association at the
meeting this week as representative
hotel men from the two states men
toned have expressed a desire to be-
come members of the Kansas Missouri
association.
The president of the association is
F. E. Miller and the executive board
which transacts the business of the
association consists of F. p. Ewins,
Mars of Kansas City. T. L. Barns of
