Figures of Transfer Companies
Explain Building Activity.
HAIL FROM KANSAS TOWNS
Many Families Are Coming
From SunfIOwer State.
Chicago Is Well Represented in
the List.

The secret of the activity in home
building this spring is divulged by the
figures in the hands of Topeka transfer
companies. In the last month these
concerns have handled the householu
goods of one hundred families that nave
moved to the capital city This would
represent an influx of about five nun
bred individuals, but of course does not
include those who come to Topeka ana
who do not possess household goods
The percentage of those leaving the
city has been comparatively small
The Topeka Transfer company alone
has handled the goods of seventy new
Corners in the last two months The
rate of influx has been unusually
heavy
The majority of these families come
from other Kansas towns, although
small percentage of them hail from
other states. For Kansas Wichita is
perhaps best represented, and several
families have come from Chicago. "A
list published elsewhere in this column
is interesting inasmuch as it shows
the towns from which the families
come and their places OF resi-
dence in Topeka.
There has been much inquiry in the
last week relative to the purchase OIL
