This is the result of the election of
officers of the Topeka Advertising
club for the ensuing year, held this
noon in the AID room at the CONNER
cial club. The election is a popular
one, and it is expected that interest in
the club which has been on the wane
in the last year will be revived.
The Topeka Advertising club has
been a useful factor in the develop
mcnt of Topeka. 1t was this organi-
ID zation that was instrumental in the
reorganization of the Commercial
club two years ago into a club that
does things.
Il see no reason why the Topeka AID
club should not be a live organiza-
ton" said n. B. Burge, the president
elect. THE merchants and advertisers
should certainly be interested in the
art of advertising. A city is judged by
the advertisements in its newspapers.
This club composed as it is, or
ought to be, of the merchants and adj
VertiserS of Topeka, can certainly 40
much to promote the art of advertis-
ing.
Il have noticed that interest in the
Ad club has been dwindling consid-
erabIy and I have wondered as to the
cause. 1t is certainly not because al
vertising does not pay-not because
we cannot learn more about advertis-
ing. The members should get to
work and cause greater interest in
the club to be created
: w. A. Layton, T. B. Brown and Mr..
'9Iathaway were admitted as members
of the organization.
w. w. Webb. a member of the club
and chairman of the lighting commit
tee of the Commercial club, which has
been promoting the Great White
Way proposition, was present with
the petitions for a white way which
have now been signed by more than
so per cent of the abutting propertv
owners on Kansas avenue from .ne
Rock Island tracks to Tenth street.
