Commercial Club Plans Fac
tory Excursions.
Buying Topeka Goods Cam.
paign to Be Pushed.
ARE MOVING TO Topeka
Fifty Families Have Come to
Capital City Recently.
Building Permits for Week
Aggregate $4,000.

Next fall the Commercial club will
push with vim the Buy Topeka
Made Goods campaign. The results
of the seeing Topeka first trips
that were made last spring have been
such as to warrant the planning of
similar excursions among the fac
tories
1--WE expect to continue the cam
paign in the fall" said Secretary j.
Will Kelley, although as yet no
definite plans have been worked out.
We practically promised the ladies
that we would arrange for another
excursion. They were enthusiastic
over the trip among the factories in
than was the case with the men.
Many ladies who desired to see To-
peka first did not have the oppor-
tunity to do so, for the reason that
we did not have the accommodations
to take more than 200 persons at one
time"
Ten Thousand Cards.
Ten thousand cards have been
printed by the Commercial club CIV
ing list of Topeka products which
should be of interest to every house
wife. These may be had upon re-
quest. However, Secretary Kelley
expects to get some man to distribute
them in the residential districts.
One direct result of the campaign
in the interests of the purchase of
Topeka goods is that several of the
stores in Topeka are now pushing
Topeka products in preference to
those manufactured elsewhere. How
ever, great deal more of this sort of
thing could be done by the mer-
chants.
Are Moving to Topeka.
Many people are moving to Topeka.
Regardless of the fact that July is
usually one of the most quiet months
of the year for the transfer COM
panies, the local firms have handled
the household goods of a large num-
Der of newcomers. They report that
so families have brought their goods
to Topeka in the past month.
In another month scores of fami-
lies will be coming to the capital city
to take advantage of the educational
facilities. Then houses to rent will
be scarce.
In the past week three persons have
ton and Ellis, respectively, with n
view to purchasing tracts in Pine
hurst. In every instance they have
expressed themselves as believing that
Topeka is a desirable place in which
to invest money, as it is their opinion
that the city has bright future.
Midsummer weather has not caused
a slump in building permits. In the
past week permits were issued for
the erection of nine new dwellings.
The permits aggregated nearly
$4,000
