I'VE feel that this fair means great
deal to Topeka. and also to you. We know

situation you will be just as interested
and enthusiastic as we are here.
The value of your investment here de-
ponds on the speed of Topeka's pulse. If

growing.
IF Topeka were in the rut, you could
not do much. 1t is worth something to
you that we have things going-with the
best and biggest business men of our city
behind this movement for a Bigger To-
peka-that this is not a feeble spasm, but
is made up of the constructive ability, and
the brain and vim of successful business
builders.
I'VE want you to come in and help us
push. The good work is on, and every
pound we can add now will count for
the future of Topeka
land, besides the good this will do you
by helping build up the city-you can de-
pend on every dollar you put In paying
Itself back in cash, with good interest.
Other state fairs pay good dividends-so
will this with the management we have
and the program that is planned"

The above paragraph appear

he failed to mention that this
bread is almost as famous and as
widely known as Weston himself.
We shall see to it that the Star
