Bloomingdale's shops around the state
Two Lawrence companies among 52 selected for exhibition of Kansas products
By Elaine Woodford
Kansan staff writer
TOPEKA- Two Lawrence companies, Central Soyfoods and Graphic Ideas, Inc., are among 52 Kansas companies that could have their products showcased in Bloomingdale's Department Stores during its Kansas promotion this May.
More than 120 Kansas companies provided products for Bloomingdale's officials to look at and taste. Bloomingdale's, a New York-based department store chain, has 15 stores nationwide.
Gov. Mike Hayden and representatives from Bloomingdale's made the announcement yesterday afternoon at a news conference.
"This is a golden opportunity to showcase our state," Hayden said.
The emphasis of the promotion will be Kansas food products, but there also will be exhibits for crafts, Kan- artists and state cultural exhibitions.
Bloomingdale's representatives will tour different areas of the state to develop display ideas. The group Louisburg and Lawrence yesterday.
"We hope the displays will do the
state justice," said Ray Fisher, a member of Bloomingdale's delegation.
Fisher said the store decided to promote Kansas products in a search for natural products shoppers would like.
The store previously has showcased goods from Louisiana, Maine, New Hampshire, Oregon and Vermont.
Some Kansans might be concerned that the products will be displayed to make the state look unsophisticated. But officials said that although the products might have a homemade
appearance, they would be sophisticated enough for New York shoppers.
Hayden said, "We have a tremendous heritage that is closely tied to agriculture. The products may look homemade, but they will be profitable."
Hayden he hoped that the Bloomingdale's promotion would provide an outlet for further national marketing of Kansas products.
"This effort will open many doors for the marketing of Kansas products not only in New York, but also in the 15 additional Bloomingdale's stores across the United States," he said.

Situations involving lost children, runaways and small crimes such as shoplifting usually can be handled by the service, she said. That free police officers to return to the street more promptly.
"Usually, the police are happy to have our help." Culley said.
Culley said that the number of children held in Douglas County jail had decreased by about 25% over the last three years.
May 15, 1986, to Jan. 31, 1987, more than 120 children were held in jail. During that same period last year, only about 90 children were held in jail.
In other action, commissioners authorized the sale of general obligation bonds totalling $2.56 million for city improvements, including repairs on 15th Street.
Also, Barry Newton of the Lawrence Arts Center, Ninth and Vermont streets, presented recommendations and showed slides of eight sculptures that have been selected to be displayed in the second year of the downtown sculpture project.
