The study of the Economic Growth of The Central Kansas Power Company was conducted by the research and study of the archives of the company at 111 East 11th Street, Hays, Kansas.

The growth of the company is shown by the development of tables and graphs from figures procured from the archives, shoving the operating revenues, operating expenses, and net income of the total company. The totals are discussed and broken down into the electrical department, the gas department, and the water department. Tables and graphs were developed and discussed showing the company history of yearly dividends and payroll history.
