This morning SO business men of the
city gave their time to the securing
of additional funds for the Kansas
State Fair association with the result
that a little less than $4,000 was add
ed to the list as previously reported.
A meeting Of the workers was held
this noon at the Commercial club
when the chairman of the various So
Iciting committees reported the re-
suit of the work. In consideration of
the fact that there are still many per-
sons who have been bettered finan-
cially by Their business relations that
have not as yet been waited upon for
money by the committees, it was de-
cided to continue the campaign dur
Ing tomorrow morning
One of the features of the work
this morning was the doubling up of
the subscriptions of a number of those
who had already invested in stock
These were the parting words of
Secretary H. L. Cook before the start
was made this morning:
II the business men of Topeka sit
down and keep their money in their
pockets the town is simple a dead one
The very fact of a mans giving makes
him partner with the city.
eff you had all been sitting around
the revival in the city at the present
time would not have been possible. 1t
Is Is the activity of the muscle that keeps
thing with the city,
Cook Makes Talk
At the meeting this afternoon Mr..
Cook said: when the people see a
great concrete stock building going up
on the fair grounds which will ac-
will begin to realize that we are doing
things, and will be ready to push so
that it will be possible to get an ap-
preparation from the legislature.
I'm Hutchinson things are in a
chaotic condition. This is the year
of all years for us right here in To-
peka to start a great fair-there
could not be more opportune time
to push the enterprise. The Iegisla-
ture is sure to get behind state fair
as the legislatures of other states are |
doing" |
This morning the committees did
not secure the number of subscriptions |
that they had hoped would be forth |
coming. Another effort will be made |
tomorrow. Are you one of those who |
have helped to boost an enterprise |
which will do more towards bringing |
population and increasing real estate |
values in the city than anything that |
has happened" in Topeka in many a |
long year? If not, why not?
1t is a certainty that a big fair will |
be held this year, but it will likely be /
necessary on account of the fact that |
the $780, 600 mark is far from being |
raised to abandon the idea of under
going some of the contemplated i'm
provements on the fair grounds. A |
certainty it seems, however, that one
large proof cattle barn will be
erected at a cost of approximately
$4,000.
