The plan of this campaign for bust
ness reciprocity Is as foil lws: II is
desired that goods. wares and ar
ticles produced or manufactured in
Utah shall be placed on exhibit In
every city and town of the state.
This can be done by securing win
dows from the local merchants. We
believe that every one OF them will

send money abroad for anything that

In every instance 1t will be found
that all products of Utah compare
favorably with the best from else
where. The quality is also as good
and many times better. while the
price is entirely competitive. This
being true, the home industry phase
should be a strong factor to induce
home people TO buy them. II more

producers of this state. there need
not be an idle person in Utah. Loyal
support of industries already here
will insure the establishment OF 9TH

in the way OF fo)dstufis that this

as an incentive for the consumer to
