Machinery Company, under identica
management, is manufacturing ma
chimes to be used in the production
of this pipe. These are not sold bu

The Enamel Brick and Concret,
Company is employing about fit!
men in the manufacture of an ename
brick in all colors.
Holloway & Smith of Provo began
the manufacture of pumps and sugar
beet harvesters about nine months
ago.
The Lambert Manufacturing Com
pany has built plant for the con
struction of various forms of roofing,
preservative paints, building paper,
and several gilsonite products. This
firm makes large use of intermoun-
tain materials, chiefly gilsonite and
oils. BY the way, gilsonite is univer-
sally used by manufacturers of ready
roofing, for they find that California
or other asphalts are by no means as
satisfactory as is the high quality of
gilsonite which is obtained in Utah
and nowhere else.
The Gebhart Broom Factory has
commenced operations at Murray
| within the last war
Turning to instances of expansion
ir established industries, we find that
the Knight Wooden Mills have during
the last year added one hundred peo-
pie to the payroll, there being now
225 employees. The mill manufac-
lures worsteds, soft woolens, flannels,
blankets robes and mackinaws, and
there is maintained in connection
with it shirt factory which uses the
wooden products of the mill exclusive
ly. Only intermountain woods are
used.
The Utah Lithographing Compan,
and the Ogden Packing Company
have each been forced to practically
double the capacity of their plants.
The Utah-Idaho Sugar Company
is building large plant a Payson,
about sixty miles south of Salt Lake
City. 1t forms the seventh in their
chain of factories and will employ
about one hundred and fifty people.
And SO We might continue longer
This is not at all a directory of our
new and enlarged factories, but only
a fraction of the complete list. New
ertheless, it indicates the diversity
of our industries and something of
the vigor with which they are grow
ing. We believe, and in recent
letter gave briefly our reasons for
believing, that the Intermountain
Empire is to be one of the great man
districts of the world.
The growth in that direction is each
year swifter, and Salt Lake City has
already more manufactures per capt.
Ia than Denver or Portland, and
eads Spokane both in the per capita
average and in the gross.
No doubt a part of the success
which has attended the efforts of
ocal manufacturers has been due to
ook upon such industries and the
oyalty with which they patronize
hem. Our manufacturers do not
eem to meet with all the prejudice
n favor of anything imported that
hampers growing industries in so
many places. This spirit should be
ostered to the utmost. All our peo-
lie should see to it that the products
# intermountain manufacture have
chance for thorough trial before
icing displaced by goods from the
East 1t will be found that the out
tut of the Intermountain factories
generally of high grade, and can
make good against competition.
