GOOD FACTORY LOCATION
$4,000 Candy misunderstanding Plant
May Be Started Here.

Topeka is a logical point for the es-
Establishment of candy factory. ac-
cording to F. l.. Brashay, head of the
Lincoln Candy company Of Atchison.
who was a guest of the industrial COM
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce
at the regular meeting today.
\ Topeka has. without a doubt, the
advantage of every other city in the
state when it comes to transportation
facilities and the channels of dia-
tribution. This is especially true
under the prevailing freight rates for
intrastate business, said the Atchison
visitor.
Topeka has the outlet for its prod
uct. the market the labor situation
presents advantages here which are
not evident in Atchison. and ever
means of making a small candy fac
tory a good investment. and one which
! might well grow Brashay declared.
He recited the history of his own
concern in Atchison, which. without
the advantage which Topeka offers,
has been extremely successful.
A paid in capital stock of $50, 900
should be amply sufficient to start n
growing factory in Topeka, Brashay
declared.

Ordinarily when a person disap-
pears, especially if he be million
aire, there are spread abroad items on
the front pages of the newspapers. but
when the records of the United States
internal revenue commissioner inform
people of the disappearance of more
than 5000 millionaires, the announce
ment is only a matter of passing in
terest to the few who note it at all.
The story. briefly, is this: The report
giving the income-tax returns for 1918
shows that only 2O,944 persons in the
United States were then rated as mil
lionaires, while in 1917 there were
26,19O such. Surely. comments the

Important persons ought not to be
permitted to disappear without at least
"a polite inquiry as to their where

OPENING FOR FOUNDRY
Industrial Committee C. of C. Urges
Business of This Kind Here.

AAAAuStNA1l - VI -. CEStS
Business of This Kind Here.
Topeka has the best chance in the
world of building up a wholesale
plumbing and heavy foundry business.
with special reference to the oil fields
of the. state, it was agreed at a meet
ing of the industrial committee of the
Chamber of Commerce held at noon
today.
Discussion of the opening which ex-
lists for furnishing heavy plumbing.
tanks. boilers. and similar heavy hard
ware to the fields and to similar in
dustries in the state, brought out the
statement from Glenn Bybee, of the
Topeka Foundry e Iron Co., that his
firm now has articles of incorporation
filed with the state officials. and is
laying plans for going after exactly the
class of business which had been men
toned in the talk of the committee.
Detailed descriptions of the diff
culties which are encountered in the
oil fields in getting some of the types
of plumbing required, and the fact
that Topeka firms which do make the
stuff the oil men want are prepared to
furnish it at far lower costs than com
peting points. were brought out in the
meeting of the committee today.
1t vas urged that the committee
back the efforts of some Topeka firm
to get into the field and profit by it.
