and Ready to Loan Mon
ey for New Houses

]. w, Kaltenbach, local manager for
the Railroad Building, Loan and Saw
ing Association. Of Newton, Kansas,
has just returned from a trip to that
city where he has succeeded in nego-
tiating several large loans that mean
much for Baxter Springs, and while
not authorized at this time TO. disclose
the nature, the success Of the trip
means the addition to the city Of q
substantial number Of modern homes.
During the past year Mr.. KAlten-
bach has placed, for these people, on
city, modern homes, loans agyregat-
ing $4,000, which shows that mOnied
men have faith in the city and are
willing to back It with their financial
support.
The outlook for business could moi
be better but the business men Of the
city, in order to make Baxter Springs
the leading city of the mining field
must get busy and do things vitality
essential before capital will come herr
and spend itself, in his opinion.
Wichita, Fl Dorado, Hutchinson ant
other towns with net half the chance
for permanency are growing by leaps
and bounds and the outlook for gen
eral prosperity could not be better
over the state.

All of the hotel proprietors
in this section. which takes in
the territory from Columbus

Central Park to the Hudson,
have cooperated in real BROTH
erhood fashion, with the result
that their hotels are now recog-

are all rendering the public a
complete service and are do

hotel business.
OF course am partial to
my own household-and 80

we are able to do. more to
please the public than~we could
possibly do by working out our
problems single-handed.
