AN IMPOSITION IN HOME INDUSTRY.

''Home Industry Week is giving vent to many
queer angles many of which unfriendly to organ
lied labor. Among other things, we find the Cham
ber of Commerce giving their official sanction to
publication called the News Bulletin which close
inspection is but commercial proposition, pub
lished in the interests of those that 'put up the
dough" 1t is filled with advertisements both of
union and non-union manufacturers one of the
advertisements arouses doubt in the mind of the
writer as to whether the News Bulletin is boosting
for home industry or whether it merely after 1.-The
money
The following appears in the News Bulletin:
M CRAFFEY' ON THE LABEL
THE writer has known Mr.. NJ. Craffey a
broom and brush manufacturer for nearly 80 years
in the city of Denver, doing all to make brooms that
Colorado and this western country need not be
ashamed to use.
His is one of the industries that has been built
upon quality but has found it rather hard work to
get before the customer the idea that he should in
sis this brand He also finds that all eastern fac
tories have their goods here this market.
''Should the local consumer use his product he
could with ease double his output and employ
larger number of people. He buys his raw material
all times direct from the farmer The writer has
also visited all the larger factories and finds that Mr.
NJ Craffey buys good raw material and knows how
TO make brooms that us western people should be
proud to have such Clean good broom factory and
should his product the preference as he is at all
times ready to make good any defect in his product
and also find takes expert to detect the value
of % to 80 cents per dozen on brooms.
SHOULD the consumer buy of his 'Perfec-
ton, Standard, Tip Top Chief, Lyon any
of his best grade they will find perfect satisfaction
and also help to promote neat, Clean home factory
that asks for the support of the western
and asks no more for its grades of brooms.''
While the News Bulletin asks that you demand
IN. Craffey'' the brooms you purchase to get
home product, The United Labor Bulletin insists
that in doing you more likely to buy peniten
tiary-made brooms than any thing else. The mem
bers of the Broommakers union authority for
the statement that many of the brooms sold by Graf
fey not Denver made brooms but that many
made in the east and stamped with the label of the
NJ Craffey Co., and are, in reality, the broommak-
state, penentiary-m made brooms
Craffey locked out his union broommakers be-
cause he did not care to pay living wages to his
employees. This was two years ago. Since that time
he has 'imported" his workmen and of his
product and since that time has called his output
home industry.
Home industry is the employment of citizens of
Denver to produce goods made in Denver. If any
Denver manufacturer thinks that he import
workmen and brand his product "home industry
he has the wrong notion and the he discards
that notion the better it will be for the product that
he desires to SELL
When you want the real 'home industry
product, that the Broommakers' label is on the
broom. Union brooms are made in Denver by Sell
tier & Pfountz and by George Faucher. Buy brooms
with the label and you get the best
