TEXT OF THE LETTER,
associations aims Is as follows:
Your attention Is respectfully called
to the organization of the Manufactur-
ers and Merchants association Of Utah.
and we ask your cooperation with us
In the matter OF securing those benefits
for which we are organized;
This association has already secured
upon It's membership lists a large num-
Der OF the most substantial business
houses In the state. These firms are
united In their deire for the betterment
OF conditions with regards to freight
tariffs, for the upbullding OF infant in
dustries OF the state. and for the de-
yelopment of the undeveloped resources
which Utah possesses in great
abundance.
The Organization has In mind the i'm.
portance of the cooperation of mel'-
| chants, manufacturers and citizens Of
| the state for promoting the use Of goods
| produced and manufactured at home, as
| well as for the patronage Of those insu-
| tutlons that are already established
| here
It Is understood that these interests
singly cannot cope with the combined
interests that discriminate against Ger.
tain Industries and the smaller mer-
| chant. We also recognize the fact that
we may gain certain concessions that
| individuals cannot secure.
a comprehensive exhibit of the pro.
| ducts Of the mills and factories OF the
| state Is being collected and Will be
| placed In the offices OF the organization.
An attendant will be present at all
times to explain to visitors the superb
GRITTY Of these goods over imported arti-
Giles. The patronage of home factories
will thus be encouraged. Raw materials
will be shown to prospective Investors
and the building of new factories and
plants will be accelerated.
The association has organized a tariff
bureau TO which all members are Invited
to submit any matters pertaining n
discrimination In freight rates, or class
lfication, or matters Of like character,
Every effort will be made by the as
ISOLATION to secure a prompt. reasonable
and satisfactory adjustment of all mat
tiers pertaining to this department that
are brought before the organization.
The organization Is not In any sense
designed or intended for purely local
purposes. The scope OF Its work ex-
tends throughout the state, the
interest OF each part being considered
equally with that of any other section.
We feel that with the development
OF new industries In the state and with
the corresponding increase In the popu-
lation and In the increased volume OF
money placed In circulation that THIS
organization will be of great benefit &c
the community at large
