What Prominent Business Man
Says of Home Industries.
The home industry slogan is awaken
ing the desired spirit of patriotism in
the breasts of Utah's people and the
goods manufactured at home are now
receiving more attention than ever be-
fore. Speaking yesterday of the pres
ent crusade in favor of the home pro-
ducts prominent business man said:
THE splendid progress now being
made in the home industry agitation
is gratifying to all who feel interested
in the movement. The present interest
in the subject is, of course, due largely
to the vigorous support given to the
efforts of the bureau by the Salt Lake
city newspapers and to the generous
treatment received from the press all
over the territory. The members of the
bureau feel that the people most di-
rectiy interested will appreciate this as
sistance so freely given by the press.
1t is now the duty of manufactu rers to
let the people know just what there
superiority can be urged in favor of
homemade goods. Patriotism is all
very well and serves its purpose, but
if the manufacturers should now re-
fuse to meet the enemy fairly and fully
! the fault will be, not with the people,
but with the manufacturers themselves.
An examination of the columns of the
daily papers will prove that the words
home industries" are now referred to
much oftener than in the past. The
manufacturers of goods made outside
! Of Utah are heavy advertisers, how
ever, and the free use of printers ink
/ is the secret of the, success of many
outside articles now being sold gen
orally in Utah instead of the Utah
people of Salt Lake city, merchants,
land owners and hotel keepers ought
to keep in mind the fact that from
now on the outside advertising folk are
entitled to no consideration here. They
should support home industries in ad-
Ivertising as well as in other
respects. A we'll supported home
newspaper is the best evidence of a
prosperous town or city. Probably over
100000 has been sent away from Salt
Lake city during the past few years to
pay for advertising schemes which
were of doubtful utility, while any rea-
sonable man could be convinced that
the same amount of money expended
on home newspapers would have been
of greater Benefit to the city and to
/ the business men who put up the mon
ey. In these days of regrets let this
lesson also be taken home. The bureau
believes the manufacturers are alive
and will do their full duty now and as
the people respond to the agitation, so
will they improve the quality Of goods,
remedy whatever defects can be
shown, keep down prices and adver-
tise as much as possible to give the
people an opportunity to know what
home made goods there are and where
they can be found"
The meeting of merchants and manu-
ifacturers to be held on Monday even
ing promises to be an interesting event.
1t is believed the merchants are anx-
ious to push forward the sale of home
made goods, realizing full we'll that
the keeping at home of Utah money
means prosperity for all classes of the
community
The mass meeting to be held on
Thursday evening at the theatre will
give the public chance to hear the
home industry cause discussed thor
oughly: good programme-music
etc, will be presented and free enter
tainment will be provided. which it is
believed will prove to be interesting as
well as instructive.
Arrangements are being made for the
exhibition of Utah manufactured goods
which will be opened at the Continent
tai market about the 25th inst. The
| 1SdQlIiS manufacturers VI lllG territory
have signifled their intention to join in
the exhibition and success is now as
sured.
1t seems reasonable now to expect
that the present effort will result in Sc.
curing new factories as well as secur-
ing support for the existing institu-
tons. Land owners will come to tho
front and help themselves by helping
to secure to the city the new factories
that are so badly needed. The burear
: is quietly working up several PROPOSE
ItiOns which it is believed will prove tt
be more than talk. Land owners car
not expect any material advance in val
lie until sones new industries are Sc
, cured for the city and this feeling al
: over the~ territory is gaining strength
land the only thing to do is for property
owners to get together and start SOM
cooperative plan to secure the needed
relief.
The bureau receives many items in
dicating the practical benefits follow
} ing the present agitation.

to their eastern friends to supply then

a few cents less by selling the home
