the Index extends a glad welcome to
| the Commercial club and business men
of Topeka, on their get acquainted
| special over the northern part of the
state. While you can be with us for
| only short while, yet it does not
| take Frankfort folks long to get &C
| quainted with Topeka people. In fact,
we need no introduction, and you are
not among strangers in this part of
the state. Your names and faces are
familiar to most of the people oil TINS
town, and you are among friends. For
Topeka and Frankfort are linked to-
gether, not only in a business way,
but in friendship, if not in blood re-
lationsnip. Frankfort is, in fact, a
suburban town of Topeka, and we nave
trolley cars running from one city to
the other, and it is only pleasant
ride from Frankfort to the state CAPT.
tai. We have the Topeka newspapers
at hand morning and evening, within
few hours after they are printed. We
have our fresh fruits, meats and vege-
tables right from the wholesale houses
and packing houses of Topeka. This
paper is printed on stock from the
Central Topeka Paper house, and so 1t
is in almost all lines of business, To-
peka is getting big share of the bust
ness of Frankfort, which a few years
ago went to other cities, because we
had no direct line to Topeka.
Proud of Topeka.
Rut aside from these business rela-
tions, we feel a great interest in To-
peka. because it is the capital of Kan
sas, and we naturally have a feeling
of pride in the manner in which To-
peka is coming to the front. We have
always found the citizens of Topeka
generous and hospitable to Frankfort,
and accommodating in every way. To-
peka is now in a better position TO
accomplish great things, than ever be-
fore. With the new Union Pacific rail-
road. she has added new territory, and
one of the best in the state. 1t IS the
connecting link that unites this and
other good towns with Topeka, and as
these towns grow and prosper, so Will
Toneka Our interests are mutual. 1t
will be the means of bringing us to-
S.ether more often, and by your friend
" visit to our city today, so Will we
all become better acquainted and nave
a more common interest in each others
welfare We wish you one ana al!

turning your call at some future date
