Manufacturers Association
Banquet Essentially Feast
of Good Things of State.


Utah can feed itself and furnish all
the frills of a banquet from the prod
ucts of its own soil.
This fact was amply demonstrated
last night at the Commercial club, when
JOG members and guests of the Manu-
facturers' association held the first
monthly membership banquet George
S. McAllister, president of the assocla-
ton, presided, and the chief address Of
the evening was delivered by Governor
William Spry.

with Viands from Cache valley on the
north. to Washington county on the
south. The menu consisted of good
things produced or manufactured IN
Utah There was tomato soup from
Ogden, celery and olives from salt
Lake, Worcestershire sauce, catsup,
jams and condiments from Utah 1actO-
tories, ham and bacon from salt Lake.
beans from Ogden, Woods Cross aspar-
agus. milk and cream from Cache val
ley, Utah beer, ginger ale and grape
juice, lettuce from St George, apples
from Provo, and cigars and chocolates
and other details of complete banquet
from other parts Of Utah
1t was essentially a feast of the good
things of Utah, and the menu over
looked nothing. Neither did the Utah
appetite
President McAllisteT read the list of
the committees he appointed month
ago, ana outlined the work of each
committee. Among other things, he
said that the association would soon
move into the new Vermont building at
Richards and West South Temple
streets, across from the entrance to the
temple grounds.
Natural Resources.
The association will have 10000 square
feet of floor space in the new home,
which will be utilized for exhibits OF
Utah products. President McAlhster
urged a stronger cooperation of Utah
men in boosting home industries. He
said that the California spirit seems ID
be stronger, as shown by the offer Of
The Manufacturers association at Los
Angeles to rent floor space with the
Utah exhibit for $3.50 a month to boost
Los Angeles.
Governor Spry, who spoke on Loyal
~ to Utah." said that there was only
enc thing lacking at the banquet, and
and wives of the members. He urged
their presence at future banquets, be-
cause of their advertising value; be-
cause said the governor they buy
your goods, after all. They are the real
patrons of home products"
Not long ago" he said, there was
talk of abandoning the Manufacturers
association. because of the lack of in
terest in Utah products and industries.
There seemed 10 be a lack of work on
behalf of Utah. But a spirit has been
injected into the work and the result is
apparent here tonight. There is no
merchant or manufacturer in the state
but who should be identified with this
association for the good it does for
Utah.
we are all loyal to Utah. The people
have been loyal ever since there has
been q Utah. We have every reason Ia
be proud of our state. In looking over
this banquet tonight, / might say that
Utah can be self-sustaining if the peO-
PIE will only SO about it in the right
way"
Governor Spry praised Washington
county, OF which, he said, little is known
III this state. The climate is better
than that of Los Angeles, the soil pro-
duces two crops of grain and six or
d
pastures are always green.
1T is the most productive section of
the entire state" said Governor Spry,
and 1 am indeed surprised that rail-
roads have not long ago entered that
country TO haul forth its valuable
freight. Washington county can give a
more elaborate exhibit in your new
building than all of the counties in the
state combined. Then there is Iron
county, with a mountain of coal on one
side and mountain of iron on the 9TH
e. side of the valley. There is enough
iron to supply all Of the steel for our
buildings all of the steel for rails, and
enough more TO supply the west coast
and the northwest with all the steel re-
