at last that somewhere beneath the

Barry pashed open the broken
door, which swung drunkenly on It's
hinges, and entering the Perfumed,
Uttered living room, he found his
way to the wall switch and turned
on the opalescent lamps.
The little writing desk was open,
its profusion of papers scattered on
the floor, and the drawers of an al
most priceless Chinese cabinet had
been forced. Approaching the lat
ter, Barry observed that its contents
were mainly scraps of drawing pa
per on which tiny figures had been
scrawled, each with a few deft lines,
and picking up one he whistled
softly.

portrait stood on the easel in, the

eral people prominent in the social
and political life of the city.
He was turning away from the
cabinet when he noticed something
which it was obvious that the de-
tectives had overlooked; small
compartment at the top, with han
die formed by tiny red-gold dragon,
remained undisturbed.
Barry tugged at the little dragon
but it was immovable, the single gilt

LARGEST IN STATE
Western Typewriter Company
Does a Big Business.
Topeka Agency Is Headquar-
ters for Three States.

The largest typewriter agency in
the state of Kansas is located in To-
peka- The Western Typewriter COM
pany, at 624 Kansas avenue is that
agency. 1t acts as the special repre-
sentative of the Royal machine.
Tho it has always been in the place
where it now is. it will soon be neces-
sary to seek larger quarters, according
so much business continually coming
in that the company is cramped for
room.
The Topeka agency is the headquar-
ters for Kansas. Oklahoma and the
western part of Arkansas, and the
ten offices outside of the city send in
practically all their rebuilding work to
this agency, altho the plain repair
work is generally done in the other
offices.
New typewriters are handled here,
along with a large line of supplies.
The company does a big mail order
business from other points in Kansas.
1t also does much repair work.
While the average citizen may feel
that all this is a good thing for To-
peka, the amount of business done
every year by this agency may interest
worth of business is brought into the
city every three hundred and sixty
five days by the Western Typewriter

Nothing but typeWriters or type

while only the most experienced men

employed by the company and these
men are making the Topeka Electric

New show windows and fixture dis
play rooms were installed in 1918. The
next year a new office and store room
were added. Other improvements are
contemplated in the very near future
The company has established the
custom of an annual banquet for its

FOR YOUNG men
Fashion Shop Caters to College
Students of Topeka.
Both Beers and Oderman Are
Experienced Merchants.

The other day a college LA said,
I'VE college feHo like to buy our
clothes at the Fashion Shop. They
carry a fine line of goods, with lots of
style and wear" 1t is sure sign that
a store is a success when the people
for whose particular enc. it was
established are enthusiastic< about it.
This is a distinction that the Fashion
Shop is able to boast.
1t was started as a young mems
store, particularly for young men of
college age.
'"The reason that we started in here
was that we thought there was a de-
mand for younger mems individual
clothes, where customer could pick
out his own pattern and STYLE said
Ray Beers, one of the proprietors of
the store.
Beers and Fred Whitehead started
the Fashion Shop on December 10,
last year, at 728 Kansas avenue, where
it is still to be found. Not long after
wards, Whitehead's health failed, and
three weeks ago, he sold out his in
tereSt to William Oderman.
Feature Kahn Clothes.
Kahn tailored clothes are featured
in this little shop. The idec with this
system is that the customer picks out
the style he wishes and the material,
his measure is taken, and his order
sent to the Kahn tailors who make
the suit to his measure. Some sample
coats are carried in stock as an aid
to choice. By this method, a man
is assured that he can buy a suit and
not see two or three others just like it
on the street. If he desires. he can
order his suit to be made exclusive.
The. pattern will then be withdrawn
from stock.
Altho the shop does not feature
ladies coats and suits, they may be
ordered in the same way, and Beers
says that they have had number of
orders from women.
Prices range from $50 up for mems
suits. and from SS5 up for women's.
Besides this. the Fashion Shop car
ries a line of furnishings for men,
shirts. ties, caps, etc. They do not
carry hat or shoes.
Both Beers and Oderman have had
considerable previous experience in
mems clothing stores. Beers was with
the Palace for four years, and at
Voiland-EngeTs for two years in the
young mems clothing departments.
Oderman was at the Palace in the
credit and the clothing departments.
They feel that they know what the
popular demand is and their success
so far seems to have justified their
belief.

A BIC BUSINESS
Emahizer-Spielman Furniture
Co. Makes Rapid Progress.
Twenty-Five Departments in
Store on Kansas Avenue.

When J. c. Emahizer started his
first furniture store, forty-three years
ago it was a case of a little store in
a little town. He was in Oberlin
then, and he started out on a CAPT
taIization of $500, and a 6 by "a foot
room It was not long, however, be-
fore the store began to grow faster
than the town, and in 1901, he moved
to Topeka. He took small room in
the 500 block on Kansas avenue near
where he is located now. He had
three clerks. The lines that he car
ried included just home furnishings,
furniture. carpets and stoves.
In 1907 the store was incorporated.
and shortly after, H. A Spielman was
taken into the firm as a partner.
The business has grown steadily
ever since it was started in Topeka-
When the place was opened, he had
$500 feet of f1oor space He now
of business was for $4,000. This
year it will reach over 100000. He
now has eighteen clerks.
Twenty-One Departments.
The store is divided into twenty-one
departments, and tho he does not
specialize in any one line, he pushes
all the departments equally hard. He
has added several lines, since he
started. such as monographs, sewing
machines and refrigerators.
The entire territory WITHIN nifty
miles of Topeka is covered by means
of twelve little Ford trucks. Pianos
and other musical instruments are
taken out to prospective customers
and deliveries of furniture are-Rade
free of cost, within that distance.
THAT is one of the reasons we
have such a large trade" said Spiel
man. I'VE go out after it,
He attributes a great part of his
success as a furniture dealer to plain
hard work and the application of COM
mon sense to the problems encoun-
tered.
There is one branch of the Ema-
hizer & Spielman Furniture company,
which is located in North Topeka
An addition is being built to this
branch, to accommodate the large
trade, in that part of the city.
