time there was some talk of starting
new company in Topeka but the
plans, for some reason, fell thru.
After a lengthy tour of several manu-
featuring plants thruout the country,
Mr. Cushman came back to Topeka
and upon viewing the Piersen COM
pany. decided they were best adapted
for his purpose. The company Is now
engaged In manufacturing this new
farm motor in addition to its trans
mitter production.
The Pierseni company's officers have
succeeded in building up a large and
profitable business here without much
in the way of assistance from the peo-
pie Of Topeka. They have built a
splendid. modern plant, designed and
made thousands of dollars worth of
special tools and equipment, and the
machinery which they have installed
is the very best that money and en-
cheering skill could buy. Very few
people realize what this company has
accomplished in so short time.
Their growth and expansion during
the past two or three years has been
startling. and IL is now one of the very
few million dollar industrial concerns
in the west. They have brought ex-
pert executives and workmen here
from the east which has added APP
proximately $50 families to the popu-
lation and has resulted in increased
patronage at local stores. increased
bank deposits and increased business
for each public utility.
Means Much To City.
The two products which this COM
pany now manufacture are winners
the best in their respective fields. The
Picrsen motor is being recognized as
the best farm motor now on the mar
ket. The Piersen Telegraph Trans
mitter is calling form the highest
praise of telegraph operators every
where who have had an opportunity to
view and operate it. 1t has won the

industry. In order to carry out and
perfect his idea he opened a little ex-
perimental shop in a small upper floor
room on East Sixth avenue. Today
the factory which bears his name, and
which has grown from this modest be-
ginning. occupies nearly an acre Of
ground and is rated as one Of the most
modern and up to date plants in the
middle west. The factory now con-
tains about 10000 square feet of floor
space and boasts of the finest and
most modern equipment, in the way
OF machinery and tools. in the west.
The plant is located at 700 East Eighth
street Plans ARE now being consid-
cred to enlarge the plant. increase the
number Of its employees and double its
production.
It required years of patient labor to
work out the intricate mechanical
problems incident to building a ma
chine of the transmitter's necessary
degree OF accuracy and to develop it
into commercial shape. 1t required a
tremendous amount of hard work to
procure the finances necessary to en-
able Mr.. Piersen and his associates to
build such a plant for the manufac-
ture Of this machine. But persistence
and an abiding faith in the need for
uch a telegraph machine enabled
them to win and when the great world
conflict broke out demanding the en-
tire resources of this country, they had
secured finely organized corps OF
workmen and executives in addition to
their splendidly equipped plant.

company then had, were needed TO

very few other concerns in the country
could supply the government in it's

pany is again in position to resume
plans for the extensive marketing of
the products.
Took on New Motor.
It was about this time. however.
when j.. B. Cushman, a mechanical
engineer OF national reputation and
now resident of Topeka, designed
and perfected n new and highly de-
veioped farm motor. Mr. Cushman,
during his long career as mechanical
engineer had designed many types of
gasoline engines which were. at the
time, considered as being the most
advanced type of engine construction.
His new motor, however. the result OF
years exhaustive study and experiment
and with its many new departures
from the old type OF farm motor con-
struction, was considered by many
mechanical authorities to represent
the final word in farm motor con-
struction. with his plans complete

started to look for a manufacturing

KINDERGARTEN HELPS
FOR THE PARENTS

The Unbiased Oherserver WI: visit
ing the Heath family, in which thero
are three children-Max, who is l3:
Gwen, II, and Dolly, 4. The boy and
the baby are generally easy to discip.
line, but there seems to be constant
fraction between Gwen and her moth
er, so much so that continual poutine
bids fair to spoil what Nature intend-
ed to be a really beautiful little face.
To the Unbiased Observer, the fault
appears to lie largely with the mother
and if the Ease were an unusual one,
it would perhaps rot be worthy of re-
cord; but similar misunderstanding
so often exists between parent and
child that the consideration Of the fol.
lowing Incidents may be of value.
Gwen is not q bad child, but her
mother seems to expect disobedience
from her, or at least, a lack Of cheer-
fitness. For example, Gwen had been
sent to bed at 6 o'clock Sunday eve
ming, ostensibly because she was sui.
ky, really because her mother though.
she was tired and need extra rest.
The child was not given the real reas-
on, however, and she went upstairs
full CT the reballious feeling that q
most unmerited punishment had been
meted out to her.
Max, for his supper that evening,
was given a large, fine barana one
