The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1912-02-17


Union has better opportunities or cal
produce as clean, pure products tina
comply more strictly with the PURE
food laws than the state Of Utah.
There is no pretense Of sentiment
in the movement; the goods vii
have to stand on their merits. With
out this we realize that our efforts
could not become effective. Aftel
several months of study and in
spection of local factories, we have
become convinced that Utah products
are equal II net superior to others
With this as the foundation for our
efforts we feel we can not help but
win success in the work we have I'M
| 1ertaken.
The Commercial Club is doing a
coed work by advertising the re-
sources OF the state. The Develop
ment league has done much to CT cate
harmony and good feeling between
the different elements of Utah The
Manufacturers Association promotes,
locates and encourages factories The
Real Etate and other organizations
do their share to wards bringing peo.
lie into the state, but there must be
something done to interest people
no are brought to our State; there
must be something done to maintain
4 permanent pay roll; we must buiid
up market for Utah-made goods.
Eyo'y dollar spent for homemade
goods help to keep the factory wheels
going and provides employment for
Utah people. The women are the pur
chasing agents Of the family the re
we believe rests with
them.
Utah is rich in minerals, and her
soil productions are enormous but
not to the extent of developing the
State to its fullest capacity. To do
trade conditions and lack
Of employment exists locally is I'M
iisputable, and that the remedy lies
n our own hands is equally true. 1t
s financial suicide to send money out
If the state for anything that is pro
iuced or manufactured here of equal
,r superior quality and competitive in
,rice. To become prosperous and
hrifty and remain so requires con-
alteration of the allegiance OF home
affairs.
We have a glorious state. Let us
oe loyal and up and doing for the
best good of all the people of all the
state. Our mottos: Look up not
Town." Look forward, not back"
Lend hand" are we think very
good ones. By going little out Of
our way, If need be to buy our own
goods. by overlooking
any dissensions which may have oc-
cured in the past, by all boosting and
pulling together, we may see Utah
forge ahead and become the peer of
all the other states. II is the aim of
the II. II. |. A. to become one OF the
most effective organizations in the
state. One object of the organization
Is to educate our members to the
different brands of products, thereby
much of the prejudice to
Utah manufactured goods. For in
stance, a lady buying certain brand
Of goods complained that the Utah
article was not equal to the Eastern
product. Upon investigation, however
she found she had been placing the
Utah product beside an Eastern
brand which sells for ten cents per
pound more. Then. again, there
seems to be an impression that Utah
sugar Zone of our largest industries)
can not be used for cakes and pre-
This has been proven a mis-.
take. One Of our leading grocers
has been heard to remark that the
Salt Lake dealer is obliged to carry
dozens of different brands OF goods
upon his shelves from the fact that
the population is made up OF people
from all over the world, and wo-
man will persist in having the brand
Of goods she bought in her native
land. BY our public receptions and
demonstrations of Utah goods we
hope to prove to these ladies that
Utah goods are equal II not superior
