Twelve hundred bankers and their

Topeka. They were delighted with the
entertainment received at the hands Of
the Topeka bankers, and will speak a
good word for the city whenever they
have the opportunity.

committee of the Commercial club will
make an unusually strenuous effort
to slate conventions for this, the CON

Convention Plans.
Already plans are being made for the
entertainment of five thousand Kansas
school teachers next November. The
Commercial club believes that conven-
lions pay from an advertising stand
point and every effort will be made 10
show" the teachers a good time while
they are here.
No merchants week" entertainment
will be held this year, but the Jobbers
and Manufacturers association is now
looking forward to the most success
full event of the kind ever held in To-
peka, in 1913.
The merchants week" is one of the
most popular undertakings of the COM
mercial interests of Topeka. Mer-
chants from all over Kansas are in
vited as the guests of the Topeka job
for week of fun.
OF course there are other ways Of adj
vertising a city here than through
conventions. Topeka has been receiv-
ing worldwide publicity the last few
weeks in the publication of articles
descriptive of the city.
Newspaper Publicity.
In a railway edition of the London
Times with a circulation all over the
world will be printed a cut of the larg-
est locomotive in the y-orld made in
Santa Fe shops at Topeka. Topeka
will be given considerable space in the
news column of this issue of the great
paper.
In the very near future the Railway |
Employees Magazine of San Francisco |
will publish an illustrated article
about Topeka. This publication is sent
out over the entire west.
Ten thousand copies of the State
Fair premium, list are being sent out |
all over the country. This list includes
an illustrated supplement setting forth
the advantages OF Topeka.
The Commercial club is preparing to
issue an attractive illustrated booklet
that will be distributed among the vfsi-
tors at conventions.
The club expects soon to have a file
Of cuts that will be loaned to publi-
cations that are sent out of the city.
Plan Trade Trip.
1t seems almost a certainty that a
.rade extension trip will be undertaken
~ the Commercial club possibly in
he middle of August. Just what the
nature of the trip will be has not as
ret been determined. A number of the
members of the trade extension COM
nittee of the Commercial club favor
lutos as a means of conveyance, but
ince the Waterloo. Iowa. delegation
stopped off in Topeka recently several
members have preferred the steam
rain.
The members of the club will go
Irmed for a good time-it will be a
Tacation trip. Several days out over
he state with no bushes worries and
ares and with a. jolly bunch of town
boosters will bring the average man
Jack to his office with renewed en-
rgy and the proper Topeka spirit"
