WESTERN CONSUMERS HOUSE,
HOLD DEFICIENCY WEEK


HOLD EFFICIENCY WEEK.
America is calling on the women OF
! the nation to help solve the high
cost of living by judicious buying.
Former Secretary Glass says, 1T is
now recognized that the economics
of the home influence all business
and industry, consequently the stan
dard of the house sets the produc-
ton schedule for the industrial world
Next April the women of the inter
mountain country and Pacific North
west will observe the seventh an
nual Western Consumers Week. At
that time the women's clubs will de-
vote especial attention to thrift,
household efficiency, the value of
labor-saving devices, the study of
food values and will seek better
knowledge of honest cloth, so they
may be able to distinguish between
good and shoddy.
| The housewife has been aroused to
the need of sane and careful buying
for the home, whether it be clothing
furnishings or food products.
| Cooperation with the manufactur-
/ err, wholesaler and retailer in helping
solve the high cost of living will be
the aim of the women's organiza
lions during Western Consumers
Week.
Cooperation by coming together
to talk over and thus gain an under
standing of each others problems is
the only way to bring us out of the
present state of unrest.
Boycotting does not get anywhere
lit only antagonizes and arouses
bitterness and works hardship on
everyone concerned. Cooperation and
right understanding is the only solu
ton.
The women's clubs and the cham
bers of commerce are planning to
hold meetings during Western Con-
sumers' Week, giving banquets at
which Western products will be
served, and have representatives of
the producers manufacturers, whole
salers and retailers-as well as the
ultimate consumer-to appear on
the program. They will have an open
mind and meet on common ground
to hear each others problems and
then join hands in solving them. The
grocer and butcher will tell the wo-
men of many ways in which they can
buy wisely and well. The manufac-
turer and the farmer will tell of
their problems and the housewife
will give her point CT view.
The educational good that will
come out of Western Consumers
Week will be far-reaching if coop
Grafton is the watchword. The house
wife cannot solve the question alone.
She may save, but she cannot deny
her family good, substantial food
or use shoddy clothing. She needs
the retailer and manufacturer to
help her. AS long as they stand apart,
blaming each other, nothing can be
accomplished
The object of Western Consumers
Week is to develop the West. We
want to see our manufacturers grow
and prosper, our agricultural inter
ests increase, our towns and cities
grow. The program for Western Con-
sumers' Week will be:
Study of Western Resources
their growth and development.
What electricity is doing for the
Western housewife.

lplants.
