"A BUSY SECTION OF TOPEKA

That Topeka has ceased to be a one
street town is the opinion expressed by
East Sixth avenue merchants, who are
now convinced that business can be
pulled to Sixth avenue in large
volumes.
While it was always regarded as a
large trading center, the number of
persons who pass the stores daily has
greatly increased in the last few years.
Progressive merchants were quick
to see the opportunity for supplying a
demand that exists wherever a suffi-
cient volume of business exists
Sixth avenue is a highway to that
large section of Topeka-the East
Side; it is also a highway that leads
to a, thickIy settled. exceedingly pros
porous farming district Besides these.
the East sixth avenue merchants. thru
supplying marketable goods for which
there is q demand. have begun to pull
business from parts of Topeka which
heretofore it was considered almost
impossible to expect any business
Truthful. legitimate advertising has
proven to these merchants that Sixth
avenue can be developed into one of
the busiest sections of the city of To-
peka; it has proven TO the buying pub
lie that they can rely on the advertis-
ing of Aese merchants A mutual con-
ndence has developed that spells in
