Idea" delivered by Charles Livingston Brokaw,
the cashier of the Commercial National bank, of
this city, and sent to the Record-H erald of Chi
cago as an exhibit regarding conditions here-and
ignored by that paper:
A brand of beer made American city ia
nous, but, gentlemen, a brand of splendid men
has made Greater Kansas City famous
Do you realize that the Kansas side of town
is the second packing city of the country?
The second milling city of the United States
That it is in the seventh place in the United
States in manufacturing industries?
That it has 10000 school children being edit
Gated by one of the best systems known? That
these same children are growing up rapidly and
will soon be filling the ranks of the professional,
business and laboring men in Greater Kansas
City? They will be your and our doctors, law
yers, preachers, teachers and merchants
That of its thousands of homes there are less
than fifty foreclosure suits on the dockets?
That it is city of homes of the great middle
classes, the bone and sinew of the country?
That in 1906, according to the Kansas City Star,
Kansas City, Kansas, lead the whole United
States by 1879 percent in building operations
That it is the largest city on earth without a
single saloon joint, house of prostitution or gam
bling den, city which can manage its affairs
with dignity and promptness without accepting
one cent of revenue from hell?
And that after a trial of this condition for over
year, none of Our best business men want to
ever go back to the old rotten regime?
