THE year will be an eye opener"
was the statement of N B. sBurge in
speaking of the outlook for the realty
men. IF prices In real estate advance
100 per cent we will not be getting
boom values. but it will be putting
values up where they ought to be.
Prices could jump 100 per cent today
on Kansas avenue and then only be
equal to prevailing prices in other
cities of the size of Topeka. This
simply shows what a future there is
