Splendid Easter Mde.
The retail dealers oil repH an excep-
tionally good Easter trade both in the
volume of business done asl the quality
of goods purchased. One deus states that
Salt Lakers are fast cominElo the place
where they place quality scfore mere
show or gaudness. This sas report also
comes from the wholesale h1ses and the
travelling men who are seAg goods to
the outside towns In the State The
merchants much prefer han1ng the bet
ter class of goods, not 50 nch for the
additional profit accrued, buior tho fact
that a good article sold anys results
In satisfied customers.
Jobbers Are HapH.
From statements gatheE from the
heads of several wholesale kases a con-
SerVatiVe estimate is that thSholesalers
on most all lines OF goods vl have m

attribute this to a great aknt to the
feeling of prosperity that thspeoplc. and
especially the farmers, have because Of
the bountiful water supply eat is as

ginning TO gain a foothold e the trade
In the southern Nevada cdztry. Last
season the transportation halitles did
not warrant the Utah mercha entering
strong campaign for that tEe and the
California houses got the nix of IL.
This season, however. most dthe Utnh
concerns have put men in q field and
they all say that they fee lhat they
are getting their full share ofae trade.
