i 4 41 i 1 i To be judged the most ideal second-clas: city in the state of Kansas in which to rear children, is one of the greatest honors thai could come to a city, and this honor was won in 1915 by Winfield, the county seal of Cowley County. When the judges whc selected Winfield as the winner, saw the ideal school system, the provisions for play- grounds, and the splendid social environ- ment for which this city is noted, they were glad to tie the blue ribbon here. Besides being a model home town, Win- field ranks high as a commercial center. She lies in the center of the great oil and gas district. She has the largest per capita wealth of any city in the state. She is situated in a rich agricultural region that is helping her in a steady growth. The busi- ness men of this city realize that the farmers also, are necessary for a city ' s growth and all work together for the interests of the whole community.
