Branch House Must Come.

While Mr.. Deere has announced no
plans for improving the prot orty he has
purchased, there is little doubt that the
deal has big significance. 1t follows
closely upon the announcement of the
plans of the Best Manufacturing COM
pany Of San LeandrO, Cal. for a big
branch house here, to be the headquar-
terS for a half-dOZen agents covering
the intermOuntain territory The fact that

Ind. is now closing contract with the
Consolidated Wagon 81 Machine company
here for pushing the products of that
concern as they have never been pushed
before in the western country. strength
ened the presumption that Mr.. Deere
will enter the intermOuntain field with
his harvesting machinery and farm i'm
plements. using Salt Lake as the base Of
his operations.
The Best company. in announcing its
plans for local branch, stated through
its general western agent that a vast
field was rapidly opening up for their
products in this section of the west.
Big Year Ahead.
A NJ. Gallagher general manager of
the Oliver pillow concern, stated several
days ago that the past year had been
the most successful of that company in
the intermountain country. and that the
coming year will unquestionably break
all records in the matter of a market
for farm machinery in this country.
With these two companies entering in
10 an active campaign IOT IlS business
of Utah and surrounding states, it IS
only reasonable to suppose that Mr.
Deere will not stand idly by and see the
cream of the farm machinery trade goD-
bled up by competitors.
This supposition gains strength when
it is recalled that the big harvester man
already owns nearly half a million dol
lars worth of Salt Lake business and
residence property and has considerable
invested in other way in the city.
With, a purchase of three and a half
acres of the best warehouse site prop
erty i'm the city. trackage facilities at
his door. and with the prospect OF a rec
ord-breaking year in farm machinery TO
come, Mr.. Deere'S acquisition OF the Ross
property leads to but one conclusion.
