HOME INDUSTRY DAY
ONE METHOD or STIMULATING
INTEREST
IN THE LOCAL MANUFACTURES
Education Of the People to PatronIxs
Home Products and Better Appre-
eiats the importance Of Their
Residence Place.

= During late years numerous days
have been set aside for celebrating
certain events. Years ago Arbor day
was inaugurated. One of the latest
days TO be inaugurated IL Mothers
day. II would seem that 1t Is only
fitting that there should be a Home
Industry day.
Des Moines. Ia. has inaugurated
what is called q Factory day. On this
day schools and retail business houses
are closed and the populace go from
factory to factory and view the vari-
Gus processes of manufacturing goods
and learn much Of the industry Of the
city. In Omaha recently. members of
the Commercial club have been de-
voting one day In the month to Wis
iting manufacturing plants.
These plans are most excellent for
educating the people as to the re-
sources OF their communities. A Home
Industry day would no doubt be the
means OF better acquainting the peo-
pie Of each town with the resources
of each particular place and would
open up avenues little considered and
stimulate the establishment Of new en-
terprises. The most good perhaps
would result from the fact that the
people Of each community would learn
OF the products OF their home place
and better realize how great the ad-
vantage would be TO utilize those prod
ucts instead Of using manufactures
from other places. A Home Industry
day should not be for the business or
the professional people. but should
be a day in which all residents, men.
women and children, could participate
and all become acquainted with the
varied resources OF the place. The
school children would find a visit to
the different factories helpful to them,
give them a practical idea OF how diff
ferent articles are made and broaden
their views as to business methods.
Home Industry day can be inau-
gurated in any town by the citizens
making a united effort. In fact, each
state could by legislative enactment
set aside such a day with great bene-
NJ TO the state and Its people. and the
establishment OF Home Industry day
might mean the saving Of millions OF
dollars annually TO the state. This day
could be made one Of real pleasure,
as well as a day OF education and uni
versal profit. Refreshments could be
served by enterprising manufacturers.
and other entertainment In the way OF
music. etc. could be utilized In ma
king II a day long to be remembered.
