an eyesore to Topekans and visitors
having business in the neighborhood
of Sixth and Quincy streets has taken
on the sem blance of fine clothes and

implement business for many years.
The new firm was brought to To-
peka thru the efforts of w. A Neis-

are being made whereby the old build
ing is to be. made one of the well
known buildings in Topeka. 1t is ex-
