Improvements by Jenkins Music
Co. to Cost $4,000.
VIII Be One of Biggest Music
Houses in West.

improvements, the cost of which
will total about 10000 will be made
by the Jenkins Music company in the
near future The downstairs Of the
building which the firm now occupies
will be completely remodeled- The
upstair part will be taken over from
the present lessee, butt out farther
and remodelled and $4,000 elevator
put in More demonstration rooms
will be put in, a Duo Art paricr in
stalled and other features added
which will make the Topeka music
store one of the biggest music houses
in this part of the country 1t will be
possible to carry about three times as
much stock then as now, according to
Clyde Faris, manager.
Eight years ago the Jenkins Music
company decided that Topeka was the
type of town in which they wanted
one .of their branches They began
by locating in a small room at TIA
Kansas avenue. A short time later
the company found that to accommO-
date the volume of business, it would
be necessary to move to larger quar-
ters. so the store was moved to the
present location at S33 Kansas ave-
nue.. In 1917 it was necessary to en-
large the store by adding new rooms
at the back. The next year the store
was entirely remodelled and more
room was secured by putting piano
player demonstration rooms in the
basement.
Business continued to improve, un-
til in 1921 the Jenkins Music COM
pany in Topeka was doing three times
the amount of business it had been
doing in 1917. 1t has recently Sc
cured a ten-year lease on the property
and expect to go about the improve
ments very shortly.
The company has the agencies for
the Meissner small piano and the Glib
son line of Stringed instruments of
which the firm is very proud. The
Gibson line is the highest priced in
the world. Two years of endeavor
were necessary before the firm was
able to get the agency. The agency
for the small piano, one of the most
unique instruments made took almost
as long to secure.
The great success which the COM
pany has had is directly due to the
rule of zone price and no commission"
which is enforced in all of the four
teen branch stores of the Jenkins
Music company Faris said.

vaged what he could and set up shop
in the middle of Kansas avenue. There
he sold ont his stock for what anyone
would offer him, and bought a small
stock of new goods. His new store
was opened at SIG North Kansas ave
nue..
The flood of 1908 took this, the diff
ference being that much of his mer-
chandise was saved, so that he could
start up again with reasonably large
stock.
Started on South Side in 1915.
In 1915. he opened a new store in
his present location at Seventh and
Kansas avenue and for the next three
years maintained this store and the
one in North Topeka too. Finally the
Graham Clothing company bought the
latter in 1917.
Oscar F. Enge1 came from Leaven-
worth in 1918 to enter the partnership
known as the Voiland-EngeI Company.
He had been in business in Leaven-
worth as the owner of the Engel Cloth
ing company. He had also been prom
inent in the retail clothing trade in St.
Louis.
Mr. Engel has had such extensive
experience in the east as a merchant
that he is of particular value to his
company. since it takes the keenest
and most alert business men to meet
the changing clothing values and
styles of the times. 1t is a distinct
advantage to Topeka that he has en-
tered the business here.

THRU TWO FLOODS
Fred VOiIand Has Made SUCCESS
of Clothing Business.
First Store Started in North To-
peka in 1885.

Altho by 1903, Fred voiland had
twice had his entire stock of merchan-
disc ruined by flood and his store
building wrecked, he ptucked up cour-
age enough to start again. The result
is the splendid Voiland-Engel Clothing
company of today.
Thomas Voiland, the father of Fred
Voiland. in 1885, established the Vol
land Clothing company in North To-
peka. This was in the old McDon-
aid building, which saw the develop
ment of two other great business
houses of Topeka, the Capper Pub-
locations and the Green Grocery COM
pany.
The flood of 1908 did the first dam
age. Nearly everything which had
been put into the business was lost
The store building was a wreck. the
floors collapsed, and everything was
thrown into the mud and water at the
bottom.
When Fred voiland looked over
what remained of his business, he de-
termined to build it up again. He sal

SHOW N. Y.STYLES
Harry Englich's Idea Is to Push
Extreme Costumes.
Started Store at 7SS Kansas
Avenue Thirteen Years Ago.

When Harry Endlich started the
Outlook Clothing company, his idea
was to push the extreme, to give the
women of Topeka just what the wom-
en- in New York were wearing, about
three days after those costumes APP
peared on Fifth avenue. Topekans
laughed at him and said that he could
not operate a smart shop in a city the
size of Topeka, because the women
would not buy clothes of the type he
intend to put in; others had failed in
like enterprises, and a youngster like
Endlich could not hope to succeed
where older a more experienced
men had failed.
All this was discouraging, but he
persisted in his decision to start his
store and run it on the basis he had
planned. His success has proved his
theory.
Endlich was a minor at that time,
and in order to transact business it
was necessary for him to have a part
ner. AS soon as he became of age,
however, he bought out his partner,
and went into business by himself
He began in 1909. thirteen years ago.
He was known as the youngest mer-
chant on Kansas a -cnue in those days.
He located at 733 Kansas avenue
in the same place he is now located.
His store consisted of half of the lower
floor of the building, and his working
force of four clerks. Now he has the
whole of both upper and lower floors
and he employs about twenty persons.
100 Per Cent value.
He believes that the success he has
had is. due to the fact that he has al
ways endeavored to give 100 per cent
value for money received, and because
he emphasizes courteous treatment of
his customers. He says that when
women come to the Outlook, they
have a right to expect those two
things, as well as the latest styles, ana
he tries to supply them. In that way
he can make his customers his best
advertising mediums. AS an illustra-
ton of this, he was in a crowd of
women one day. where his identity
was not known. The conversation

that she wished she could find a GER
tain style that persons were wearing
in New York, but she had not seen
such a style in any of the Topeka
stores. Another woman asked if she
had gone to the Outlook. The woman
said that she had not, as yet. well,

shirts and the measurements are sent
to Topeka and the shirts are made.
The record for work done when
Rain first bought the factory was
thirty shirts made in a week. Now
they make from three hundred to
four hundred a week. The spring is
the best season of the year but all
seasons are good
In the shop at 729 Kansas avenus
Rain does an extensive clothing bust
ness and he features high class haber-
dashery. One day last year there were
1916 worth OF shirt sales in the To-
peka store to men outside of Topeka.
There were men who bought shirts
there, who were from West Virginia,
Nevada. Boston. Mass, and towns in
Kansas.
The shirt business is not so well
known locally as the suits. ALI classes
of persons buy at the Rain Tailoring
&. Shirt company: both the working
class and professional men.
Fixtures which add much to the
beauty of the shop have recently been
installed in the RAIN store. There are
also new cases for model suits and
wooden racks for display.

The reciprocity question however is

State income tax will be granted by
Commissioner Of Revenue A. d.

The law permits the commissioner

in his judgment cause exists for the
extension. Interest at the rate of six
percent from March Is to the time

cause IN every instance must be
shown, the commissioner advises, but
the interest required by law will be

Where no extensions have been
granted says Commissioner Watts,
taxpayers failing to make income
tax returns and pay the taxes on or
before March Is without intent to
evade the law, may voluntarily file a
return and pay the tax due on or be-
fore May Is together with five per-

other stimulus to production. Advanc-

buying than ever.
The dollar is becoming more and more
the national basis for determining
prices. Manufacturers are demanding
four to six times as much as the re-
taiers are charging, or can get, Tor
the same goods. Bavarian shop keepers
have announced that they will not sell
goods to foreigners so long as the
Munich Government restricts domestic
buyers.
