During the lunch hour at the Com
lnefclaI club this noon the stockhoId-
ers, promoters and directors of the
STANDARD Remedy company met in the
specIai dlning room and perfected
their organization. Thew resolved
themselves into company and this
afternoon the incorporation will take
place and the officers elected.
The company will go under the
name of Standard Remedy company
and their business is to manufacture
stock foods. They have rented a suite
of offices in the Commercial
block just below the Commercial
CLUB; These office opened today for
the first time and tomorrow the Off
cfal business of the company will
commence
The large two story stone building
at 500 East Eighth street will be used
as a factory building until the COM
pany is guaranteed enough business to
erect special factory of their own
All of the machinery for the manu-
facture of the food has been ordered
and will be shipped to Topeka in a
very few days. 1t will be installed in
the new factory at once and the
wheels will be started Immediately af-
ter the installation. Thousands of dol
lars has been spent already to perfect
the manufacture of the food
Inc company is now working up a
force of statesmen to go out on the
road and take orders for the food at
once. 1t is expected that 25 statesmen
Will be used in the business. They
Will travel all over the west and they
nave been promised number of
agencies in Kansas cities. It Is expect
ed that a big business will be worked
up in very short time-both on ac-
count OF the excellency of the food and
the scarcity of such material on the
market
