w. w. MiIIs--One reason, a self
iSh one, perhaps. why am member
of the Topeka Commercial club, is
that it is an organization fully equip
ped to do the work that will benefit
the people, the city 1 love, which 1,
as citizen, do not do, but realize
should be done"
Charles Sessions do 1 be-
long to the Commercial club? Be
cause a city is better off with a good
live commercial club. 1t takes such
an organization to develop the civic
and commercial spirit to the maxi
mum. In union there is strength.
What helps Topeka helps Kansas
Arthur Topeka's prosper
ity and future growth depends pri-
marily and the maintenance of a
healthy public spirit 1 know of no
way in which such a spirit can be en-
gendered and kept alive other than by
such an organization as the CONNER
cial club. AS a citizen of Topeka /
support the club because of the good
it does and may do the city as
whole; as a business man I support
the club because it makes my bust
ness better-as it betters the business
of every man in Topeka"
J. r. Mulvane-"The healthfuI
growth of the city is conducive to the
prosperity of all her business men
and property owners While a city
may have certain advantages, such as
location, the existence of large man
ufacturing and shop interests, state
institutions, good banks, etc, which
will naturally draw new residents in
considerable numbers, yet. in order to
induce a greater influx of new enter
prises which will prove advantageous
to the community, there must be some
organized scheme for advertising her
advantages and for influencing outsid-
ers to locate in the city. I know of
no better plan for the accomplish
ment of this object than the formation
of an active pushing Commercial club,
and / consider it my duty and the
duty of every man interested in the
welfare of the city, to be part of our
Commercial club and to aid in it's
work in as great an extent as pos
sible.'
