A New Concern.
A new concern in Topeka is the
Kansas Keroso1ar Light, Gas and Fuel
company. In the near future the COM
pany hopes to manufacture lighting
systems for houses, churches, public
buildings of all kinds, and city streets,
right here in Topeka, but at the pres
ent time their equipment is made in
Chicago and Providence, R. L, and as
sembled in a building at the rear of the
residence of E. F. Stanley, principal of
the Quincy school,
officers of the company are: W. L.
A. Johnston, president and treasurer;
D. F. Shirk, vice president; E. F. Stan
ley, secretary and manager, and E. F.
Darby and S. P. Mold on the staff of
directors.
The company now has five men in
the eastern half of the state organiz-
ing the territory into districts of ten
counties each These five district
agents are appointing county agents to
handle the line of goods.
The lights are produced from a gas
which is the product of kerosine oil
and are steady and extremely white in
color. Many of the systems have al
ready been assembled in Topeka and
and apparently are giving satisfaction.
