forty-two travelling statesmen engaged

carry out a vigorous campaign in be-
half of the Utah-made milk choco-
lates.'
II is believed that the milk choco-

Will gradually disappear from the
western market, like the candies of out
side factories when Salt Lake began to
produce It's own sweets.
1t was only a few years ago that the
stores of Salt Lake were filled with
boxes of candy which had been shipped
here from eastern cities. Enormous
sums Of money were sent back In re-
turn. AS the men who handled the
candy made meager profits, there was
little to the advantage of Salt Lake in
the situation.
Today Salt Lake candies are being
sold In Salt Lake. and the money spent
by Salt Lakers for sweets goes to Salt
Lakers who make sweets.
AS sugar made from Utah and Idaho
beets is used in the manufacture Of the
Salt Lake candy, the farmers Of the
surrounding regions are benefited, and
Salt Lake candy is being eaten in hun
dreds of towns which formerly received
their supplies from the. east.

of milk chocolates" was one of his
original ideas when he began to make
candy.
