LIVE STOCK SHOW GET
TING WORK ELSEWHERE.
Resolutions Adopted Urging Civic and
Commercial Association to Give
the Buy In Colorado" Slogan
Better Interpretation.

The annual exposition of the Ma
tional Western Live Stock association
opens at the stockyards stadium in
Denver next week and promises to be
great success by reason of liberal
patronage of Colorado people Yet
the stock show managers are not very
good patrons of Colorado Industries.
Denver Typographical Union No. 40,
at its regular monthly meeting last
Sunday, adopted a resolution calling
public attention to the fact that much
of the printing for the live stock show
is done each year in Chicago and St.
Louis, when the same could be exc
cuted just as well in Denver.
The resolution urges the Denver
Civic and Commercial association to
use its influence in having the print
ing for the National Western Stock
Show given to Denver firms. 1t was
pointed out that in past years, as well
as this, much of the printing for the
stock show had gone to out-of-town
firms, and the Typographical union
holds that the civic association, as a
booster of Made in Colorado Goods"
should see TO it that less Of the print
ing for the members of the civic asso-
citation and such institutions as the
stock show goes to Chicago, Kansas
City and St. Louis firms
Members of our union have con-
sistentlv aided the Buy Colorado
Made Goods movement" said a mem
Der of the union in speaking to the res
olution. "and we feel that the mem
bers of our union and the proprietors
of Denver printing establishments
who give employment to our members
should be given the preference when
Denver and Colorado manufacturers
and business men have printing 10 be
done
Not so very long ago there were
to be seen in a number II downtown
windows placards urging the reader to
buy Colorado-made goods and the
printers who read then observed at
the bottom the imprint Of a firm To-
Gated a long ways from Colorado.
Denver has a number Of printing
establishments equipped 90 handle any
kind of work A couple Of years ago
one of them printed a large issue of
paper money for one Of the numerous
governments of Mexico. and there are
few classes of work that can not be
handled by Denver firms
These establishments employ our
members. pay them the wages we ask
for reasonable hours an conditions of
work. and those wages are spent for
Colorado made goods. We believe
Denver business men should assist US
in seeing that less of Denver's print
ing is allowed to go % Chicago, Kan
