HarmOniOusly Together.
To Make the Coming Bargain
Week a Big Success.
APE MAKING TUEIl pIANc
ARE MAKING THEIR PLANS
So That the Occasion Will Be
Long Remembered
And Visitors VIII Be Glad to
Come Again.

Statements made by various bust
ness men in Topeka today indicate
that there is no question that the mer-
chants bargain week, from July 10 to
July 26 inclusive. will be a success. The
merchants OF the entire city practically,
are cooperating to make the week sue
cessful. and the State Journal is en-
tering into the matter for the business
good of the city, and to assist the
merchants in promoting the business
interests.
The statements of the merchants al
so indicate that many real bargains
will be placed before the public during
the week, and that those who come
from a distance to Topeka may be
able to go away entirely satisfied with
their visit, and feeling repaid for hav-
ing come.
The State Journal doesn't wish to
take any credit for the proposed plan,
but is willing to give the credit to
whom it is due-the Topeka merchants.
1t is the merchants who are stand
ing the expense of the week, there De-
ing no expense except what the mer-
chants put into their advertising in
placing their goods before the public. |
The State Journal always is ready to !
back the merchants and help them In
any worthy enterprise, without tying /
any strings to its assistance, just as
it always helps in bringing factories to |
the city, in giving publicity to special
trade trips, in helping make the State
Fair successful, or in doing anything
for the good of the city. 1t is not the
State Journal that is putting on the
bargain week. nor any other news
paper, but the merchants of Topeka.
