Topeka PROPERTY In DEMAND

Fair skies have served to stimulate
business in Topeka this week. Accord
ing to figures at the office of the To-
peka Rebate association the volume
of business transacted through out
of-town shoppers has been more than
double that of last week.
The weather has been of the kind
that the realty men prefer; cOnSe-
quently they report having made nu-
merous sales. Sixteen building per-
mits were issued in seven days aggre-
eating $4,000 in round numb ers. AS
there are scores of dwellings in con-
temptation the showing the remainder
of this month is expected to be in ex-
cess of the record for the last week.
One of the notable features of the
sales in property in Topeka this sea-
son is that persons from other Kan
sas towns and other states are buying
local property. This shows that they
have faith in the future of the city.
Numerous sales have been made in
Pinehurst to out of town persons this
season and several in Kenwood.
There is now renewed activity in
Kenwood property. Through an ex-
tensive advertising campaign numer-
Gus sales have been made. A total Of
two hundred and fifty lots have
changed hands since the addition was
first opened. This season it is ex-
pected that the four hundred lots
that remain will be sold or at least
majority of them. According to the
management a score of new dwell
ings will be erected in this addition
this spring. There are total of Sc
acres in the Kenwood tract, and one
feature that makes the property de-
sirable is the fact that the ground is
high.
a number of attractive new dwell |
ings will be erected in Eln1hurst this
spring. In the last three years more
than 100000 has been put into i'm
provements in this addition. Broad |
moor in the shops district, Shawnee
Place west of the Western League ball
park and the Melrose addition are
sections of the city that are develop |
ing rapidly. Highland Park will un-
dou btedly continue to grow in the next
