Presidents Report.
The report of the president Of the
association reviewed the changes in the
character of the organization one year
ago when, after an existence of three
years as manufacturers and mer-
chants association, the merchants were
dropped and the association became one
composed solely of manufacturers. Mr..
McAllister said the directors of the as
l,5 nd Po1i gu1
in their work for the betterment of the
business of the Utah manufacturers
and that at each meeting more than
quorum had been present. Regarding
the reorganization OF the association at
the beginning Of the last year, Mr.. Nc
Allister said it had been demonstrated
wise move lnasmuch as the whole OBJ
iect had been GLOW can we best pro-
mote the manufacturing interests of
Utah9N
The president called attention TO the
six successful exhibits IN which the
manufacturers of the state had particl
pated the last year. The first was the
Prosperity fair, held at the Chamber
of Commerce rooms last spring. and Mr.,
McAllister gave credit in large measure
to the success of the affair to Lon j,
Haddock, the former secretary of the
association, who planned the fair and
carried 1t out.
Many Saw Exhibits.
At this show, the speaker said, more
than 100000 persons were shown the
manufactured products OF the state and
the benefits to the manufacturers from
the publicity given their goods could
scarcely be estimated. Another exhibit
was made at the Ogden fair and still
another at Logan at the time of the
annual meeting of the retail merchants
association. At the Utah state fair in
Salt Lake, Mr. McAllister said, the
exhibit of the manufactured products
of Utah exceeded that seen at any pre-
vious fair in the intermountain country
and he added that in large measure
the state fair association gave credit
for the excellence of this exhibit to
the influence OF the Manufacturers as,
soeiation of Utah, Another exhibit in
which the manufacturers played an inn
portant part was the Pure Food and
Industrial exposition, recently given in
the auditorium.
Mr. McAllister said that in the year
he, with D. i Collett, secretary, had
visited Logan, where the claims Of the
Utah manufacturers were presented to
the retail merchants of the state with
such force that by unanimous vote the
retail dealers promised their hearty sup
port 10 the boosting of Utah-made
goods. The two officers of the associa-
tion visited most of the retail mer-
chants of Logan, Brigham City, Ogden
and the various towns of Davis county
while Mr.. Collett had visited every re-
tail merchant in Salt Lake, presenting
list of Utah-made goods with an argu-
ment for patronizing home industries.
Meetings Reviewed,
The president of the association re.
viewed the membership meetings of the
association in the year when addresses
on topics of general interest to the man
ufacturers of the state had been pre-
sented by experts in their several lines
These addresses were given by John Z
Clark, of the Utah Gas & Coke com.
pany. on the use of gas for heat. light
and power, another by J. A. McMullen
of the Utah Light g. Railway company
on the use of electricity in the factory
and another interesting lecture on sales
manship was given by John D. Spencer
Instructor in the Y. NJ. c; A. school
Mr. McAllister said the only regret tc
be expressed regarding these meeting;
was that comparatively few of the man
ufacturers had ayailed themselves OF
the opportunities TO hear the lectures.
Speaking of the growth of the asso
citation, Mr. McAllister said that wheI
it was reorganized one year ago, there
when d. F. Collett assumed the position
OF secretary, there were about fifty
members and at the present the mum
Der is more than 100.
