Moving time has arrived. Twice a
year-spring and late summer and
early fall-transfer companies do a
rush business. Just now the great
vans of the Topeka transfer firms are
kept constantly in use.
Business for the realty men, and
the home builders has also been given
a boost. Approximately forty families
have MAYED to Topeka in the last
three weeks, or since a list of arrivals
in the city was last published in the
State Journal. It is only necessary for
those who are skeptical to take look
at the records of local transfer COM
panies. Aside from this scores of per-
sons have arrived who do not possess
coming to Topeka to take advantage
of the educational facilities. Rental
properties are being snapped up
rapidly, dwellings are changing hands,
and new homes are being erected.
Permits have been issued this
month for the erection of sixteen
dwellings at a cost of approximately
$4,000. Permits have aggregated
$4,000, and the month is not yet
ended.
One has only to take a spin around
the city in an auto to become i'm
pressed with the fact that Topeka is
expanding.
