LARGEST IN HISTORY
SALT LAKE IMPLEMENT BUSI-
NESS BOOMING.
This Springs Wholesale and Retail
Trade Exceeds All Previous Rec
ords-Interviews With Prominent
Dealers.

This springs implement business II
Salt Lake has been record breaker
The fine big houses on State street
have their establishments crowded
daily with farmers and ranchers, max
ing selections of new vehicles and i'm.
plements, and the shipping clerks are
kept busy filing orders.
The wagon and implement trade this
year furnishes a peculiar exception tC
the run of business in general. While
other lines are dull-some of them dull
er than in years-the implement and
wagon business WILL it is estimated
exceed last year by 100000. And last
year beat all previous ones.
STUDEBAKER'S.
c. A. Quigley, manager for Stude-
baker Bros. Salt Lake branch, says
that this has been a phenomenal year
for wagons and vehicles of all kinds.
THE factory is badly overrun with
orders" said Mr.. Quigley, being at
present SiXty-five carloads behind the
demand. Salt Lake has made a, par
ticularly fine record with us, and we
| this spring almost doubled our floor
and storage capacity by putting up a
| two-story addition, covering 10x712
rods. We now have the largest build
ing under one roof of any implement
or vehicle concern in the United States.
The space covered is 22312 1859 feet, and
the total square feet of floor space over
$4,000. Trade with us here in Salt Lake
is better than it has been since 1879,
and [ can safely say we have sold more
wagons and vehicles at retail this
spring than any one house in the whole
county. We have done away entirely
with carrying cheap goods as the de-
mand seems to be for the higher grade
and better made stock"
Mr.. Quigley has been connected for
the past thirteen years with Stude-
baker Bros, coming here four years
ago from South Bend, Indiana He has
met with unusual success and the
Salt Lake branch now sells over $780,
OO0 worth of wagons and vehicles and
200 worth of harness annually.
The firms record in Utah has been one
of constant growth, and their methods
have met with favor both among the
farming and business communities.
CONSOLIDATED IMPLEMENT co.
Our trade is the largest in the his
tory of the house, exceeding that of
last year, which was over SI00 600 that
of any previous year. said George A.
Snow, vice president and general man
ager of the Consolidated Implement
company. Margins are close, but bust
ness active, with a. seeming scarcity of
money. We are experiencing great
difficulty in keeping the trade supplied
with Mccormick machines and Cooper
and Fish farm wagons, while indica-
tions point to scarcity of Irvine.
Farmers may consider themselves
fortunate if able to get sufficient Irvine
to tie crops at any reasonable price,
