Brown Takes Exception to Ad.
vertisement and Writes.

Things are beginning to take on a
fine aspect in the estimation of To-
peka boosters. There are many in
dications that there is to be a period
of increased activity in Topeka" said
a merchant today, although during
the past three years there has been a
marked awakening
What is particularly interesting at
the present time; not only to the realty
men, but all other persons engaged in
business in the capital city, and also
| to those who have her interests at
heart is the vast amount of advertis-
ing Topeka is going to receive through
I Aviation and Merchants week and the
great state fair which will take place
next fall. The many conventions
which will be held in the Convention
city, in the near future will boost the
city.
Merchants Week Helps.
No one will deny that Merchants
week. which has brought hundreds of
goods dispensers to this city during
the past two years, has been a material
I help to the city. The visitors have
gone away feeling that Topekans are
good entertainers and, incidentally,
they have thrown a good deal of bust
ness in the way Of Topeka people.
Jobbers Have Boosted.
without putting it too strongly -
said a member of the Jobbers and
| Manufacturers association today, "our
| association has done great deal for
| the advancement of Topeka.
"Our membership list is something
! to be proud of, for it is certainly rep
resentative of the very cream of To-
peka'S wholesale and manufa cturing
| interests, and the Kansas merchant,
| as he sits at his desk and reads over
| the printed invitations that he will
soon receive from our members, will
| find on them the names Of practically
all of the concerns with which he does
| business here.
Like the third and last call of the
| auctioneers, our membership commit
| tee would like to ask whether there is
| a jobbing or manufacturing concern
| doing business in Topeka and not al
ready a member of the Jobbers and
Manufacturers association, by reason
of having been missed by our commit
tee, that would really like to have a
| part with us in pushing along with
| our entertainment for the merchants
. of Kansas next month.
GAS a matter of simple justice, the
names of those concerns whose gener-
osity makes the entertainment posi-
| bilfty must be given the widest pos
sible publicity in our advertising, and
We should be very sorry if it is neces-
sary to leave out the name of a sin
gle one of Topekas wholesale houses -
Realty Market Active.
During the week the real estate
| market has been active to an extreme
| degree in comparison to the past few
weeks; building permits have been
| normal, and large number of fam
| lilies have moved to Topeka, where
| they will make their homes
The Atherton, Merchants and To-
peka Transfer companies have han
| died the household goods of % fam
| lilies in the course of two weeks who
| have moved to Topeka from other
| places, including Lawrence and Los
Angeles, Cal.
