A vivid Wichita prospectus details rapid population growth and industrial expansion. Mentions Burton Stock Car Company's planned Wichita shops with 1000–1500 workers, large lumber and coal trades, new streets, bridges, hotels, and 20,000 plus jobs. Notes City Board of Trade pushing location and bids while contrasting Wichita with Topeka’s figures and alleged misstatements.
