ADDRESS GATHERINGS.

The Boost Utah Products campaign,
naugurated a week ago yesterday be
fore the parents classes of a portion Of
the wards of Salt Lake stake was con-
Cluded yesterday forenoon, so far as the
stake is concerned, with addresses de-
hveTed in the seven remaining wards by
prominent members of the Utah Manu-
TacturerS' association. At each Of the
meetings there was a good attendance
and the remarks of the speakers were
listened to with great interest
in the Fourteenth ward Orson H. Hew-
lett brought out number Of strong
points in his arguments in favor of the
home industry movement. He said that
there were not enough manufacturers or
producers as compared with the consum-
erS. There are too many retail dealers.
however, he maintained and for that
reason competition is so keen among
them that it is hardly possible for any
of them TO make reasonable profits on
their goods.
with more manufacturers there would
be as a result more products said Mr..
Hewlett and with fewer dealers in COM
petition there would be more in il for
those who were in the business
Formerly appeals were made to con-
sumers to support home industries Oy
buying home products more as a mat
ter of sentiment than anything else; now,
the manufacturers can compete in quail
ity and price with the manufacturers
from the outside, and there is no excuse
for home people not to patronize home
made goods"
Ebenezer y. Child was the speaker in
the Fifteenth ward. Along general lines
he showed the advantages to be gained
in the support of home products of home
manufactures He demonstrated TO the
people that they could not well afford
10 purchase outside goods. when the same
goods, manufactured in this state, could
De purchased at equally as reasonable
price.
Well Posted Man.
ter, one of the best posted men in the
Utah Manufacturers association, because
of his long experience with manufaCtO-
Ties in the state. gave an interesting talk
on many matters that had come under
his personal observation Mr. McAllister
directed his remarks especially along the
line of the manufacture Of leather goods
boots and shoes. For many years he
was connected with various concerns of
the state. He told the parents class
that the people of the state were missing
much in the way OF substantial profits
by allowing the hides and pelts of the
state to be shipped east for manufacture
into products, which were in turn shipped
west for the western people to buy.
If more shoe factories were established
and properly supported by the people
there would be no need OF sending east
for shoes But as il is" declared Mr.
NcAllister, the factories which are al
ready established in the state are not half
supported and the result is that until
not much likelihood of more being estab-
Hshed.'
