Meeting Is Enthusiastic.
! The meeting was enthusiastic from
the start. Fisher :. Harris, manager Of
! the Commercial club. presided, and iu
calling to order made a speech. After
/ expressing his qualification at the large
/ attendance, he said:
salt Lake is all right IL is not
/ without its knockers, but they seem to
/ be a necessity in every community. IF
I every man, woman and child in Salt
/ Lake Joined this club. knockers would
/ move in from the outside. But there
{ isn't q city between the Mississippi riv-
Ell and the Pacific ocean which has So
/ few knockers as Salt Lake There is
I no place where the citizens are so pub
lic-sDirited."
After calling attention To the wave or
. ton winch is developing i'm ali the ciJies
! of the west. Mr. Harris emphasized the
necessity for Salt Lake business men
getting together, with a view to build
ling up home industries
1T is more important 10 encourage
/ the Industries YOU have than 10 sOlici-
/ outside industries to come in and COM
/ pete with them" lie said

/ Orson II. Hewlett. being called upon
! for a speech, said that the organization
/ TO promote the manufacturing indus
! tries of Salt Lake and Utah was not q
+ selfish move in behalf of the manufac-
/ tuTeTs alone. The movement he said
: would help everybody; a large, steady
/ payroll would add to the prosperity OF
/ every business and professional inter
/ est of the city.
He said he believed even in inviting
/ Industries to compete with those al
/ ready established. Competition would
/ stimulate those already here. and, as
an example. he cited the fact that while
( the Independent Telephone company
/ has built up a large business here, the
+ Old company has more business than
/ il ever had.
/ Organization. he declared, would en-
able the manufacturers 10 unite IN Sc
! curing concessions from the railroads.
! 10 guarantee that new Industries com
! ing here would not be sWamped by a
1 competition from eastern factories bv
means Of low rates. He read a letter
! from the Illinois Glass company inquir-
ing az 10 the quality of sand in Utah.
+ the coal supply and freight rates. The
/ letter expressed a willingness to inves-
igate the situation here with a view
TO establishing a glass plant
He also urged that the women be or
Il IL
of Utah and urge them to use home
manufactured goods wherever possible
He told of the booster" work which is
going on in Denver. and was followed
j by John .. Critchlow along the same
lines.
Fisher Harris took a slight exception
f to a remark made by Mr.. Hewlett thai
Salt Lake is poorly advertised.
1T is one OF the best advertised cities
lin the United States" asserted Mr..
/ Harris, and ne called attention to the
work being done bv the Commercial
/ club. the hotels and the railroads
