Every Utah manufacturer is going to

been engaged at special fee, TO ana
lyze samples of all goods Offered, and
IN addition to this test, the state food

sion, on the grounds that unless this
is done. a few INSCRIPTIONS dealers
VIII bring discredit upon the label, and
upon the association by offering goods
that are below the standard.
HONEST GOODS OR NONE.
"One thing we are going to have"
declared President Hewlett in this con-
nection, "and that Is honest goods or
none at all in Utah. We cannot ask
the people to support us and
then give them inferior goods.
We are going to make our label re-
spected, and TO have the people under
stand that It IL a genuine guarantee OF
quality After the label Is given out
to a manufactured, he must specify on
what goods he Is going TO use IL, and
we shall see that II Is not used on goods
other than those for which II was
granted. Things have gone long
enough in Utah with general sus-
picion over home produced qualities.
which compelled manufacturers to put
foreign labels on their goods in order TO
sell them TO a home trade"
The ladies' auxiliary is TO pass upon
household goods, while the general or
ganization will pass upon other goods.
Labels are now on hand and Will be
issued as fast as applied for, when
manufacturers satisfy the board OF
directors that their goods are genuine.

means Of keeping printing business at

President Hewlett hopes TO find out

II Is true, and to see that steps are taxi
