OWNS SIX STORES
f. C. Gibbs Started in Business
Here Twelve Years Ago.
He Gives Topeka Full Credit
for His Great Success.

From one store with a twenty-five
foot front to a chain of six stores in
twelve years@that is a record of
which few men can boast, but about
which, F. C. Gibbs of the Gibbs Mer-
camille company is very modest.
He came from Atchison i'm 1910.
He came from Atchison in 1910,
store there which had carried a gem
eral line of mems and boys furnish
ings. He thought that Topeka would
be a good place to start a store, run on
similar lines, partly because of the
Santa Fe shops and the large farmer
trade. and partly because there were
two good newspapers located here
that could reach his customers.
His first store was down on Fifth
street, in the same location which
he has now. 1t had a twenty-five
foot front and. small stock of goods.
The second year he increased his
stock and added twenty-five feet of
frontage. Four. years later his BUSH
ness had expanded so that he could
open a second store on East Sixth
avenue. Now there is a branch store
at Valley Falls, one at Salina, one in
North Topeka, to accommodate his
large trade from the north side, and
one which was opened last year at
Hastings, Neb. He plans on open
ing another soon in the western part
of the state, but has not decided
where it will be located
Started Store for Men.
He started out with a general line
of mems and boys clothing. Since
then he has added womens' and chill
dren's shoes, hosiery and underwear.
He does not contemplate adding any
other line. No particular article is
featured especially but Mr.. Gibbs be-
lieves in concentrating and specialize
ing on those things that he does carry.
He says that he gives Topeka full
credit for his success. When he de-
cided to start his store here, he did
so because he felt that Topeka was a
city with a future, one that would de-
velop, and he says that he has not
been disappointed. 1t is one of the
best trading centers in the state with
mores classes of trade than is usually
to be found in a city of its size. =.
What we sell in our stores is-the
good and reliable merchandise, with
nothing cheap about it, Mr.. Gibbs
said, Il always have been very par
ticular to guarantee everything, and
to satisfy my customers. If they are
not satisfied, I am not"
The class of goods carried by the
Gibbs Mercantile company is that
which is especially adapted to the
masses buying the popularly-priced
goods, which can be depended upon
Mediums of advertising is one of the
things he considers most carefully
when choosing a town in which to To-
cate one of his stores.

There is good reason to believe that
the allied note has not yet reached

diplomatic developments.

The nationalist continue to assert
that the conditions laid down by the
Paris conference are not satisfactory.
They say they have large forces as
sembled at Ismid ready to march to
Constantinople.
This is untrue as almost the whole
of Kema's army Is still south of the
Gulf of Ismid.
Turk Movements Continue.
Turkish movements of concentration
towards the neutral zone continue.

tIat If they would withdraw they
would not be molested.

of Constantlnople, says that the ma
tlonalist government claims the right
to move troops across the Sea OF Mar
mora to occupy Thrace and that they
must have the firm guarantee which
only the occupation of Thrace can
give. This Is believed to be merely
the well known Turkish method of
bargaining.
