WALTER THOMPSON TO SPEAK
He VIII Tell of "ReaI Estate
Values in Topeka"
Items of General Interest in
Real Estate Circles.

Real estate values have increased
to a remarkable extent in Topeka III
the last few years. At least this
is the statement of local land men
and they say they will prove their
contention convincingly at meeting
of the Topeka Real Estate Dealers
association at the Commercial club
next Wednesday noon.
Walter Thompson will read an ad-
dress on Real Estate Values in To-
peka." Several prominent realty men,
who have launched additions in the
last few years, will tell of how prices
have advanced in those additions.
Although this is the dull season"
of the year numerous deals have been
closed recently by local land men.
There is much inquiry on the part of
prospective buyers, and the dealers in
property are anticipating an unusually
active season next spring.
