GOSPEL OF COOPERATION.
Manufactured, Merchant and consum-
err the Great Trlumvirate--Women
Of Idaho to Demonstrate their Buy
Ing Power During Home Industry
Week, April 1919.

! The movement started recently
among the women of Idaho to have
"a Home Industry Week April Ia
to 10, Is meeting with most hearty
support, both from the women and
the newspapers over the state. Mrs.
Martha Spangler, of Boise, editor of
the Idaho Club Woman, the original
or Of and leader in the movement,
when asked to give some details of
the plan, said:
I'VE are asking the merchants in
every town in the state to put
display of home products in their
windows that week and make spe-
cial effort to sell the articles at
that time. We are urging every
woman's club to start the week with
some kind of home industry affair.
We have asked every newspaper in
the state to boost, and we hope to
show the people that Idaho club
women are power when they stand
together for any good cause for
surely loyalty to our home merchants
and manufacturers is deserving of
the greatest praise.
We are preaching the gospel of
cooperation to the people of Idaho
the manufacturer, the merchant aud
the consumer-the great triumvirate
that will make for the growth of |
The state if they work together. Think
what it will mean if every woman |
N the state that week asks for a
oar of soap made in Idaho. If a
woman goes to her home grocer and |
iskss for bar of Idaho soap she
S helping her own husbands bust
less. He may be a doctor, dray-
nan or a dry goods merchant he
las been helped just the same.
When ten thousand women have
ach purchased bar of soap, they
ave created a market that is worth
oticing. Ten thousand new Gus
omers is quite lot, and they will
ny again. The soap manufacturer /.
ill find business increasing and he
i'll branch out. He will spend the
oney thus received in hiring more
eople to do more work for him.

We have discovered that one rea- M
