a frame Of mind entirely agreeable TO
again giving space whenever another

The executive committee and the on
hlbts committee Of the Utah Manu-
faeturers association are extending eN-
presslons OF thanks to the merchants Of
the city for their generous response to
requests for exhibit space In their WIN
dows This Item contributed much to
the success Of the big weeks showing.
Yesterday the displays were being
taken out from the Vermont building by
their owners, while the regular exhibits
there were being put back into their old
positions
The big show Is thing OF the past In
physical actually, but It's good effects
will be shown from now on In the in
