OUR MOUNTAINS
OF GREAT WEALTH

Our attention has been directed to
an enterprise that makes fair prom
Use to revolutionize the soap industry
Of the United States. A number Of
large deposits have been located and
secured in different parts of Utah
and eastern Nevada by the Univer.
sal Cleanser company of Salt Lake
City whose factory is located on CAS-
North Third West street.
These deposits are commonly call.
ed tallow or soap mines and very
much resemble mutton tallow.
The early pioneers used consider

This material was evidently created
for purpose. and it remained for
one of our Utah sons to evolve

this magic product could be convert.
ed into a commercial soap. Mr..

ton and undaunted persistence has
finally succeeded in producing the
only pulverized dry toilet mineral
soap made in the world a soap that
positively contains no animal fats,
rosin, I've or caustic soda, void Of
the elements that destroy and shrink
cloth fibre and injurious to the skin
when used as a toilet soap. The
toilet soap known as Uko may be
bought at the principal grocery
stores in Logan and throughout the
valley.
Machinery Is now being installed
to grind the product finer than what
is now on sale which will give 1t ad.
ditional favor for some uses. All
forms Of laundry medicated, anticep-
tic, bath and shampoo soaps will
shortly be placed with the grocers
for sale.
Well thinking people will hail the
advent of natures new products with
delight. Most people will gladly dis
pense with the use Of the filthy bar
soap the accumulation of dirt, filth
and disease germs.
Hotels, restaurants, boarding hous-
es, public institutions, are anxious
to abandon bar soap and use soap
that Is sanitary and economical as
there Is absolutely no waste to this
soap being perfectly dry whereas Or
binary bar soap contains from 20 to
30 per cent water.
We see in this enterprise the pos.
sibilities Of a large factory, giving
employment to many people. Supply
ing soaps, securing compounds and
cleansers of all kinds for the greater
part of the United States. We have
mountains Of the crude materials
for producing these products. which
are now being bought in the east
A number of Cache valley people
have become interested in a small
way as stockholders, and are very
enthusiastic as to the prospects ant
future Of the company.
II our good citizens would Interest
themselves in some legitimate home
enterprise, that would tend to devel
i
OPP the wonderful resources of oul
fair state instead of listening t.
some silver tongued orator who pos
itively obtains money under a falls,
pretense and under a false represen
tation.
Hasten the day when our legisla
tors will pass laws that will protec
the unwary and unsuspecting from
all wild cat schemes Such laws will
help legitimate enterprises and aug
ment our home conditions for thu
good of all our people.
Let our slogan be to stand BY eV
cry enterprise that tends to develol
the resources of our state.
As fathers of consistency let u
first develop our own resources tina
nature has placed within our grasl
resources that We walk over ever
day of our lives but fail to see.
