The biggest event In the history CT
Utah's Industrial and commercial in.
terests will be held from April / to
8. 1t will be known as Utah Pro
ducts Week" At that time It is In
tended to place before the public the
products Of the state in a manner that
will impress the people with the
great variety and high standard OF
local industries, thereby arousing
deeper interest and more loyalty for
their support Every important pub
lie organization in the state is work.
Ing In the movement. Among these
are the Utah Development League,
the Salt Lake Commercial Club, the
Manufacturers Association Of Utah,
the Native Sons Of Utah, the Utah
Homo Industry Association, the Salt
Lake Real Estate Association, the
Federated Trades, the Ad Club, Re-
tail Merchants, and the two Press
associations.
The plan of this campaign for bust
ness reciprocity Is as follows: 1t 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
be willing to devote portion of his
window space for the purpose indi
Gated. II will help his business,
help his city, his county and tho
state.
This campaign for Utah should APP
peal to every person IN the state, 20.
1t means something to every man,
woman and child In this common
wealth. II is a suicidal policy to
send money abroad for anything that
is raised or produced at home. The
community that is thus unwise can
never hope to become thrifty. More
than Eve hundred articles of every
day use are manufactured in Utah
to say nothing of the numberless
products of farm, orchard and gar
den, range and pasture, that are not
considered in the manufacturing
line.
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 strong factor to induce
home people to buy them. II more
liberal patronage were given to the
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
ers SO much needed. New concerns
can scarcely be expected IL old ones
are indifferently patronized.
The suggestion to support home in
dustry should be followed, not merely
in theory, but in practice. The ad-
vice is good for everybody and should
not be considered as meaning only
the "other fellow" The success Of
one line of Industry helps every
other line. II has been said that
he is a philauthropist who causes
two blades OF grass to grow where
but one grew before" What, then
shall be said of the concern which Is
constantly adding to the number Of
it's employees and increasing its pay
rolls?
A house can be constructed, from
foundation to chimney, of Utah ma
terials, with the possible exception
OF glass. The interior can be large
ly provided with furnishings Of local
manufacture. In the matter OF cloth
ing, each member of the family can
secure nearly every necessary ar
ticle of home make. 1t Is, however,
In the way of food-stuffs that this
state excels. There are but few ar
ticles OF necessity or of luxury that
are not grown or manufactured here.
The list of Utah products are too
numerous to be mentioned In this ar
tinla and a comnaratiye few are cited
as an incentive for the consumer to
learn more OF the scope and variety
Of the states resources.
There are more than seven hun
dred factories of one kind and an
other in Utah, and there Is abundant
opportunity for several times that
number. in lines already partly ex-
plotted, and in others entirely new
to this locality, 1t Is no idle boast
to say that not another state In the
Union equals Utah in the number
and magnitude of natural resources,
There are unlimited quantities OF
iron, coal, copper, lead, building stone
of endless variety, including marble
and onyx; gold, silica, silicon, gypsum
nitre, graphite, asphaltum, tabbyite,
elaterite, gllsonite, salt, sulphur; all
the ingredients of cement and other
substances, of minor importance.
We appeal to every citizen of Utah
to give loyal support to Utah Pro
ducts Week" and to let that event
be the beginning of campaign that
will know no cessation until whlrlinl
wheels of Industry shall be heard in
all parts OF our fair state.
