Thousands of persons within a

of the opportunity afforded by the To-

of railway fare.
1t will be a big week in local retail
circles-an unusual chance to pur-
chase goods of quality at low prices.
The merchants are giving the event
much thought and some of them have
been preparing for it for months.
August is always a big month at stores
that deal in carpets and furniture. LO-
cal establishments have had their buy
ers on the lookout for bargains for
months, and the general public will be
given the advantage of their pur-
chases. The same is true at other
stores. There will be especially heavy
reductions in summer goods
Topeka a Retail Center.
Topeka is annually becoming more
popular as a retail center. The stores
are conceded to be the best in the
state. The stocks are complete and
the prices are right. Topeka now gets
much of the trade from east of the
city-Lawrence, Baldwin and other
points-that formerly went to Kansas
City.
Every courtesy will be shown the
shoppers from out of town next week.
There are rest room facilities in the
big stores that the visitors will be
urged to use.
While effort will be made to
have the thousands of Kansas shop
pekans who care to take advantage of
the exceptional bargains will by no
means be neglected.
