lasting shame
IN the progress of the work it is now
found that the people generally are
anxious to patronize home goods. The
difficulties in the way arc yet great.

admitted that they have been putting
forth vigorous efforts recently to show
the people wha: is being made. The
mass meeting and the fair have been
conducted in a handsome manner. and
the manufacturers have paid the bills
The merchants were appealed to early
in the movement to lend their aid but
the response has been lukewarm. Some
show a genuine desire to forward the
sale Of homemade goods, but some
stand on their dignity and do not seem
to recognize any special obligs ton on
their part to give preference to Utah
goods over other articles made outside.
The manufacturers are advertising
more than in the past and the unusual
efforts being made by outside manu-
facturers make it necessary for local
people 10 do more advertising from now
on.

suited This matter with the factory
