FACTORY PRODUCTS

The manufacturing industries Of Col
orado during the year 1917 turned out
products valued at more than $780,
100000 This is almost double that of
any previous year and is tribute
both to the enterprise of Colorado mau-
ufacturers and to the natural advan-
tases of this state, which are rapidly
becoming recognized in all parts of the
country.
Much credit for this great increase
in output and the nation wide publicity
which is attracting capital is due to the
Colorado Manufacturers ASSOCIATION
Through the efforts of this state organ
ization, more than two hundred Colo
RADIO manufacturers have been put in
direct touch with government buyers.
Since June, 1917, when Mr.. Carl
Hinton, the executive secretary Of the
Colorado Manufacturers association,
went to Washington as it's special rep
resentative and began his work there
for every Colorado manufacturer, more
than $lO,00O,00O worth of contracts
have been let by the government to
Colorado manufacturers.
The influences which Mr.. Hinton
started working at Washington are not
only being kept up, but are being iI-
creased, and the current of trade which
has set in from Washington to this
state will continue to increase through
his continued work there and through
the cooperation Of the association IS
office at Denver.
Effective work, however, on part. of
The Colorado Manufacturers associa-
tion involves loyal and aggressive CO.
operation on the part of the individua!
manufacturers in the state. The as
sociations' office at Washington, d. C.
is at ll57 Munsey building. Any COM
munications addressed to Mr.. Hinton
there will receive prompt attention.
Manufacturers, merchants, jobbers and
all other business men of Colorado in
terested in government contracts Of
any kind are invited to get in touch
with the Denver and Washington Of
fees. This applies to chambers of com
merce, and any other commercial or
business organizations.
The Colorado Manufacturers as
sociation is maintaining bureaus of
information both at Denver and at
Washington, and the business Men Of
Colorado are invited to make uss of
these offices iu securing prompt and
accurate information concerning war
contracts, excess profit taxes, other
federal taxes and on government legis.
lation growing out of the war which
effects manufacturers and merchants.
Rulings Of the priorities board, its
classification of essentials and noa-
essentials, the requirements Of the
government shipping board and other
such matters are, handled in terms of
direct information from government
sources.
The government has requested tn
Colorado Manufacturers association not
to give publicity to any individual con.
tractors who are furnishing supplies
for the government. This makes it
still more imperative that the manufac-
turers Of the state shall work directly
through either the Denver or Wash
inGton office of the Colorado Mama
facturcrs association.
Every phase of business all over the
United States is gradually shaping
over into one great consuming nation
al industry-namely, that of WAR and,
as matter of patriotism and self de-
fcnsc, it is important for ever manu-.
facturer and merchant No recognize
this fact and to shape his business ac-
cordngly. War orders of every kind
have the right of way, not only in re
gard TO the supply of raw material
and its manufacture, but as n matter
of priority in shipment. and Colorado :
prosperity. both now and in the future,
demands THAT HER BUSINESS
MEN MAKE THEIR ADJUSTMENTS
TO WAR CONDITIONS.
