BUSINESS MEN TALK.
Judge Thomas d. Dee, vice president
Of the First National Bank, says Pros
perity IN Ogden City from a financial
standpoint Is very bright. and the pres
ent prosperous conditions are due to
the development OF the natural re-
sources, more especially the agricul-
tural resources. The establishment Of
manufacturing enterprises In our midst
Is a great boon 90 this iutermOuntain
country The additional railroad faCiu-
ties has made a much greater demand
for labor. and those who were lettering
around the streets a year ago are now
employed, and our population has been
increased, through the various ayeu.
ues which have opened up in our midst
for employment our future prospects
have been very much enhanced by the
production OF cheap motive power. Og-
den has a very bright future before her,
and many more manufactures VIII
come here because Of the cheap motive

Sidney Stevens president Of the sid
ney Stevens Implement company. says
Business during the year 1900 has
been very good with us. We have sold
a greater amount Of machinery and
farming implements this year than for
some years past, and have found that
money was easier TO get, there being a
greater amount In circulation. The
good season which we have had for
fruit and agricultural products this
year have been great benefactors 20 ALL
There Is no excuse for men 10 be found
Idle under such prosperous conditions
as we are now experiencing. and the
future presents a very bright outlook
The conditions Of our city are much
better than for several years past. and
there IS no reason why ogden should
not advance in business and every 9TH
er way.
Mr. John Watson, manager Of the
Ogden branch OF the z. G. NJ. l. said
that the business conditions OF 1900
have ben much better than for several
years past. We have done much more
business this year than last, and think
all around 1900 has been a good year
for business. There have been various
things which have attributed 10 the
hNNA lllNNHf MiIAu We are tNIUNllk.
The cannerles and sugar factory have
been a vast benht 90 this community.
They have stimulated the farmers 10
plant, and good prices have been paid
for their products by these factories.
hence several hundred thousand dollars
have been brought into circulation. and
the benefits OF the same have been felt
by everybody. Another thing which
has helped business are the good prices
which the sheep men have received Tor
their wool also for their lambs and !
their money has been spent with the
business houses. and an OF these things |
have contributed greatly 10 the good |
times We are now having.
Theodore Schamsenbach, manager OF |
Fred J. Kiesel & Co.. wholesalers |
says that their business has increased |
NJ least 80 per cent during this year: /
IN fact, says he. we have done more |
business during 1900 than IN any year |
since we commenced IN 1872; the future |
outlook Is very encouraging for us. The |
people In general are gaining more con. |
fdence IN one another. and the demand /
for all kinds Of merchandise is greatly |
increased
