DescriptionPhotocopied newspaper clipping from the Topeka Capital-Journal, March 21st, 1967; Clipping is an article discussing the impact of the 1966 Topeka tornado on local homes and businesses. Article states that while the tornado did devastating damage, home and business owners have worked to rebuild from the wreckage. For example, the article reports that the American Bindery Plant moved locations and now employ more workers than before.
