SING THE BOOSTER" CHORUS.
f. W. Moffatt OF Murray said some
good things on the need for everybody
to sing the booster" chorus for Utah
He said Murray realized that Salt Lake
couldn't do anything TO help herself
that wouldn't help Murray, for that
reason Murray had stepped into the

that there was only one big city pos

should be. 1t never could be any other
city than Salt Lake, and for that rea-

make 1t the biggest possible kind Of a
consumer for their products.
