Few people realize that Colorado is
becoming one OF the great manufactur.
ing states" said r. c. Scott. manager
OF the Colorado Manufacturers Asso'
citation. in Denver. the other day. III
people of Colorado did realize this 1t
would be n great thing for the state.
Take the members OF the Colorado
Manufacturers Association alone. for
example. They represent capital OF
s34.346.0O0 invested and expend
s25,00o.0o0 a year for material. sup
port $4,000 people. and pay them an.
nually in wages 39.Gi2.oo0. and the
value OF the product last year was
$53.00O.o00.
"Coioradans can buy Colorado beef.
bacon, butter. boots. brooms. buggies.
brushes. beer. hank and bar fixtures.
carriages. chemicals. canned goods.
catsup. cheese. cigars. cider. crackers.
candles. elevators. glassware. harness.
honey. hams. machinery. ovcralls. pa
per boxes. saddles. stoves. shirts.
shoes. soap.
THE fact is there is practically
nothing that Is used In the home. the
store. the shop. the mine. the farm.
the ranch that Is not made In Colorado.
and every man should realize that u
dollar spent for Coiorndomadc goods
stays In Colorado. and when paid for
foreign goods leaves Colorado. Tho
Colorado Manufacturers Association
wants to get the people together on
this subject.
What Is required In Colorado moro
than anything else In an Increased pat.
ronaEc Of home products. Every
housewife and every household should
ask for and insist on being furnished
with Colorado products or goods man
ufRcturcd In Colorado. There In n Ger
tain amount OF civic pride In every In
diylduai. but with u great many OF the
citizens OF Colorado Il has not been
developed. ! will venture to Hay that
there ar" thousands Of cascS In Colo
RADIO to-day where the housewife iH pat
ToniEinE eastern Industries by asking
Tor and purchasing certain lines OF
goods. Perhaps she iS using soap
manufactured In her native town. OF
In her native state. because her mother
used the sam" class ot goods In the
old horI. back East: or II may never
haV. occurred to this sane housewife
that nh" could Ec, ~ good. " not bet
ter. articles manufactured right here
In Colorado. n We can educate all
such ot our residents who nr" patron
lriue "nEt-rn.mnd. goods To live In
the present and future. Instead OF the

.h~ largest class Of all. the indifferent
class. those who take hut little Inter
est in the manner Of developing the

fh..f they AR, no, anxious to sec Colo
ado prosperous. but for the reason
Ih,t Il has p.rhnpA never dnwncd ON
them that Il made amy difference aH to
what class Of goods they purchased.
whether made In the New England
states or in Colorado. II all III" classes
| have mentioned could be aroused Ia
the fact that IL Is their duty TO bc loyal
to Colorado in every respect. regard
less Of whether they are citizens os
nur stale by nativity or adoption. and
would demonstrate their loyalty by
never failing to ask for Colorado'mndc
goods when making purchases OF va
rlnuH kinds, the result would be n land
slide OF prosperity for Colorado and
her people. The untirlng efforts that

etc. are all second In Importance to
this on- feature Of patroniGinE home

people nI Colorado to double the capa'

noj cost them farthing TO do II. from
"a fpunciai standpoint. Three little
words cover the entire situation-PAT'

tell everybody to buy Colorado made
goods.
"Did YOU ever stop to realize that
every time you buy SO worth of goods
manufactured outside the state OF Col
orado YOU are sending $40 out OF the
state that never comes back? Where
as. II YOU buy with this same $40 Colo
rado.mRdc goods the entire amount re

become n profit sharer. Could any
thing be more simple and yet more ef.
