“Watch Wichita Win”—The Motto of an Aggressive Community
Spanning the intersection of two of the principal streets in the retail section of Wichita is the motto that best expresses the spirit of the community—“Watch Wichita Win.” At night this motto stands out, brilliant in lights, where it may be seen from the trains entering and leaving the city. And that Wichita is living up to its watchword is proved by its record of growth in population. In 1890 it had 15,620 inhabitants; in 1895, 20,839; in 1900, 24,691; in 1905, 34,520, and today it has reached the 65,000 mark. “Wichita Is Winning.” The large building in the illustration is the Hotel Eaton.
