A Car To Be Sent East-Requesi
From The Committee
Notes.

The committee appointed to solicit
contributions to the advertising fund
have been holding meetings at the
Chamber OF Com 1erce for several
evenings past, Tor the pu p 0se Of dis
Gu sing pIa for 9 he expenditure OF
the money. 1t is proposed to devote a
considerable portion of the fund to
advertising in eastern papers, and in
getting manufactures established
here, but it will take some time yet
tetore these plans are definitely sett, d -,
Just as soon as possible a car will
be fitted up with Utah products, and
sent east in charge of two or more
competent agents. The expense of
this will only require very small por-
ton of the fund, and will doubles
result in much good.
The following letter from the secre-
tary of the Chamber CT Commerce
explains itself:
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,
SALT LAKE CITY, May 10, 1888.
To the Editor of THE HERALD.
The committee appointed to collect
and expend the advertising fund ill
auguraIed at the recent melting held at
the Chamber of Commerce, having de-
cided upon fitting up car with exhib-
its representing all classes of Utah
proGacts, and sending it over the prin
opal eastern railroad for the purpose
OF demonstrating to our fellow citizens
10 the east the extent of our resources
and the inducements offered to capital
and immigration, earnestly appeal to
ali classes OF the community to assist
them in carrying ont tins project
which promises to afford substantial
and brilliant results, by contributing at
the earliest possible GATE samples and
specimens OF all kinds of manufactures
aud raw materials, agricultural pro-
duce. preserved fruits. grain, seed, veg
etabIes, ores and other minerals, and
anything that will tend to arouse
the interest and attention of those who
are seeking or are likely to embrace
opportunit es Of Investment and st tile
ment in this Territory.

ETC., sre all strenuously urged 10 send
to the Chamber of Commerce assoon as
possible the best samples OF the above
products they can obtain, with full par
ticulars of nature, location. extent,
average cot crops), etc. The Chsmber
will contribute literally from its own
collection, but as this collection has
been productive of so much ben
EFT in the past, it is very
undesirable that it should be even
temporarily depleted, just at the time
when strangers are passing through the
city in large numbers. and it is, there
fore, hoped that all those to whom this
appeal is addressed will promptly re-
spond TO the call made upon their pub
lie spirit and liherality, especially as,
while rendering an important service 10
the whole Community, they will also
reap a great direct benefit themselves
in the shape of an advertisement
throughout the east, which could be
secured in no other way.
Rousekeepers and others are also
cordially invited to lend to the commit
tee any samples of preserved Utah
fruit, specimens of minerals. and any
thing else they may possess which will
serve the purpose above referred to, and
they will receive the warmest thanks of
the committee and Chamber for such
substantial cooperation. 1t is abso-
lu ely necessary, however, that all such
be sent without delay, as the
exhibits must be dispatched imme-
diately. M. J FoRHAE,
