Guests by Factory Men;

oeNtulN-IlNe CLERKS, manufacturers
and invited guests enjoyed a splendid
banquet last evening at the Indian
room of the La Court when the fac
tory men were hosts.
Features of the meeting We're the
souvenirs given by various makers
Of home products and the speeches by
local citizens.
Postmaster +. c. Walker was in
charge of the program. He asserted
that the clerks exhibited rare heroism
in going away from home to try the
products of the local manufacturers
50 as not TO jeopardize the health of
loved ones. Lincoln Antics. speaking
for the manufacturers declared that
their viewpoint while essentially
selfish had in IL by necessity the ele-
ments of community helpfulness.
Fred f. Weaver, for the clerks.
gave their view of things in not
uncertain manner. Talking frankly
he pointed out a number of peril
nent methods by which the manufac-
turers could help themselves and the
community. He related several ex-
periences which while humorous.
nevertheless pointed moral to his
hearers. It was one of the best talks
OF the evening.
Emmett Fuller spoke of the con-
gumers position and made some prac-
tical suggestions. He declared that
the big trouble with home manufac-
turing is that too often the consum-
er has no viewpoint.
Sen. Horace T. DeLong declared
that it is up to the manufacturer to
be able to meet competition. He
declared that the local maker of
goods must meet the loyalty of home
people to him with the loyalty of fair
prices, full weights and clean goods.
He also casually referred to the
freight rate charges on some commod-
cities as an example of the failure of
the manufacturers to realize the
need of meeting competition in the
open and playing fair with the ulti-
mate consumer.
Silmon l.. Smith, under the head
of Miscellany" kept the audience in
roar of laughter for ten minutes.
His original stories, his humorous
turning of phrases and witty raps at
his friends about the banquet table
were irresistibly funny. lie receiv-
ed repeated applause for his effort.
T. NJ. Todd declared that it is up
to the clerks to push home products
even if their, employer is making a
wider margin of profit on the ship
ned-in article. He asserted that their
jobs depended upon this being a live
town and that patronizing home in
dustries, first of all, was the way to
build the home community and keep
the merchant-employer in business.
His talk was an excellent one and
was roundly applauded. .9ls s17, n
O. l.. Farley for the Currie Cam
ming company made brief but tell
ing speech ond he was followed by r.
A. Yunker of the Yunker & Callahan
Monument works. AS usual for one
in his business, he had the last say.
Not the least interesting feature
was the distribution of souvenirs.
The gas company gave cook books to
the ladies and handy match safes to
the gentlemen. Tiny satin bags of
sugar were given by courtesy of the
Western Sugar & Land company.
while the Currie company came to
the front with big can of tomatoes.
The C. d. Smith Drug company furn-
ished a bottle of Benzoin+ toilet
cream to all the guests and the Mesa
mills gave big bags of. self-risinS
pancake flour.
Charles p. McCary gave souvenir
of his business silvered horseshoes.
On each shoe was a card telling the
lame and other information about
the horse or mule which had worn
the shoe. Some famous track ami
mails were represented by old foot
wear last night.

etely useful for carrying away the
