/ - ALT LAKE as a manufacturing
- center sprang into life last night.
| The Merchants & Manufacturers
/ association became a factor in the de-
velopment Of the city. Sixty public
| spirited men. including manufacturers,
| merchants. JObbeTs and real estate men
met at the Commercial club and took
action that Will have far-reaching in
| ftuence in the building up of the COM
munity. A large majority Of those
| present volunteered to join the organ
! ization; committees were appointed on
membership, on constitution and by
/ laws and on canVassing the community
( To determine what is needed in the way
/ of factories.
/ The meeting was one Of the most pro-
| life in the Industrial history of the city.
| The feeling was admirable. Sugges-
! tions were made which will lead 10
great things i'm the near future; every
/ body seemed determined 10 put his
/ shoulder 10 the wheel and roll with all
! the power he could muster for Greater
/ Salt Lake. The statement of a man
/ from Dallas, Tex. that his city was To
/ have a population of 100000 in 1910
/ seemed to set the mark for salt Lake,
! and the speaker was cheered Justify as
! though he was talking for Utah instead
/ of the Lone Star state.
/ wide-Awake Men to the Front.
/ The names Of the men who stepped
/ forward to join the organization even
/ before the adoption of a constitution
/ are a guarantee that the movement has
/ substantial backing, that it means bust
l ness. and that il viii not be sWerVed
/ from it's purpose by ordinary obstacles.
