Hello Cholly: |
East is east and west is west
and fortunately for everyone con-'
cerned . . . the twain shall nevei
meet. Just as New York has cer
tain traditions . . . functions to
fulfill . . . So several hundred
,\ !. large cities scattered about this
country have their traditions and
their functions to fulfill. They
shall never resemble Broadway
'T . . or Seventh AVenue . . . They

. . . That is as it should bo . . .
Th? immense variety that is the
epiCe of this national family ot
cities is _very easily illustrated
. . '.Hr for the sake of comparison!
. . . we take only one. . . Kansas i
City. , - 'M
The Highlights
. Of this city, as you might expect
.. . . has the vigor, the daring,
sociat6 with the West ... its
aims have been ambitious and
perhaps occasionally ra?h. Kansas
City is a tremendously wealthy
city. There are office buildings
of which atiy city would be
proud ... A fine art gallery .
There are residences on t.W South
side that would do Long Island,
Westchester, Hollywood, ^alm
Beach. Miami. Aiken and Chicago'^
Cold Coast credit. There (
are) beautiful churches, too, and
quiet homes on quiet streets. A
fine* boulevard and park system,
ana plays to full 'houses through
the winter.
It is one of the most unbelievable
cities you ever heard of.
Over 100 Gambling Joints
were slapped shut with raid or-'
ders by Circuit Judge Allen C.
Southern recently . . - . Governor
Lloyd Stark, has stated that Kansas
City is a crime center and has
ordered Attorney General Roy McKittrick
to clean up the town . . I
and Federal Judge Albert Reeves
But it's still the same kind of
town. There is still plenty of fun
here, but it is for you to discover' i
- where it lies. The air itself here

is full of joy and gayety ... At
heart it's still a rough, tough fron
tier town . . . the place where the
Weft begins, and the people love
it.
The People Are Hospitable
and generous, if you have one
Kansas City friend you are sure
to make many more, and1 they will
entertain and spoil you as only
they can . . . But even if you dc
not happen to know anyone things
are so organized that you will be
shown everything there is to see
The Twelfth Street Rag
was inspired by Kansas City's ten
derloin belt . . . because the people
here enjoy life . . . and they
want what they want When they
want it. It's that kind of town
... a good-time town . . . An all
night town ... A money spending
town The bars and restaurants
are always crowded. There is an
rncredible nurrfbe~bf stnp-clancers

night clubs have several whn

Pnt any of tncse various places
Jown somewhere else and they
would probably be closed or fail
immediately . . . but where they
are, performing their local functions
in KanPas City, there are
quite success. To be sure as 1
mentioned in the beginning, there
is another side to Kansas City,
they have a ationally-known philharmonic
orchestra . . . also one
of the Southwest's leading colored
weeklies . . . excellent schools
. . . and business places . . . but
they aren't the Kansas City the
