GOVERNOR HUNT URGES BUY IN
ARIZONA POLICY

Giving of every Legitimate
preference to Arizona products
and Arizona firms was urged as
permanent policy Of public offi
ces and institutions, in a letter
addressed by Governor George
w. P. Hunt last month to all
state Offices and departments.
The governors appeal, eqally
applicable to every business firm
and private household. was as
follows:
THE Tenth Legislature of
Arizona revised our laws cover
ing employment of citizens on
public works in this state. Ap
parently Arizona now has ade.
quate laws to insure preference
being given to Arizona citizens
on all public work.
NO legislation has been en-.
acted giving preference to Ari.
zona manufacturers. producers
and business institutions in fur
nishing supplies to the state and
it's subdivisions. Yet it is Ari-
zona industry that prvides EN-
ploy yment for Arizona labor.
Every legitimate and reason.
able preference should be given
Arizona institutions in purchas
ing supplies for public purposes.
These people pay taxes in our
state and assist ia the mainten
ance of our state government and
public institutions. They employ
local labor, and thus help in
alleviating the problem of unem.
ployme which is very acute
at this time. For these reasons,
I trust that all departments Of
our State Government, and Of
the subdivisions of the state, will
adopt an active policy of giving
preference to Arizona producers,
manufacturers and business men
in the purchase of supplies. when
conditions are equal, or nearly
so. Unless Arizona producers
and business men obtain orders
for their products, they can not
give employment to Arizona
labor.
Complaints have reached my
Office that branches or depart
ments Of thu state government
have placed orders outside of the
state for .products which could
have been obtained on a com
petitive basis within the state.
and that in some instances, local
dealers we're not even invited to
bid or quote prices on the sup
plies desired. This is condi
ton that should not exist, and
certainly should not continue.
Il trust that all fioials ia
Arizona, charged with the au
thority and duty of purchasing
materials and supplies for public
purposes, will cooperate ia Civ
ing reasonable and legitimate
preference to Arizona business
men and Arizona products. and
thus materially aid in promoting
employment for our citizens and
prosperity for our people"

the public from 10 a. m. TO 10 p. m.
Yesterday and last night $500
persons are estimated to have Wis
tied the show, according to Mr..
Patteson. This unusual interest is
due in part, he said, to the fact
that the show offers a rare oppor-
tunity for the public to see all the
body types at one time and In one
place.
A feature Of the show Is the NOV
ing picture depicting the manu-
facture Of the Ford from the pro-
duction Of raw materials to the
finished car. This picture gives one
a comprehensive idea Of quantity
production and OF the extent to
which waste and by-products are
utilized.
The Fords, resplendent in their
various colors and lustrous rustless
steel trimmings. attracted attention
from all. Attendants were kept
busy answering questions and ex-
planning the features Of the new
body ~types-why IL Is that rustless
steel retains its luster permanently

acting shock absorbers work. how
the drivers seats in closed cars are
