PAUL Salt Lake THE POLITICAL PARADE By Harry 1L Blackmon WASHINGTON, D. , August 28 The return of Mr. Hoover to Washington is not expected to terminate his campaign touring by any means. A number of cities are clamoring for C-- visits; and while the Republican nominee has accepted no invitations, he is known to be considering several speaking trips. Rcpdrts from New York regarding the uncertainty of the Democratic speakcandidate about a country-wid- e deing tour indicate that the final cision in that case is also up to Mr. Hoover. If he decides to make a number of speeches in the east and the border states, his rival may. be expected to do likewise. Somehow this campaign seems to pivot around Herbert Hoover. pt Public Instruction The opening September 1 of. the new reinforced concrete warehouse just completed by Zion Wholesale Grocery gives the Z. C. M. I. grocery division one of the finest distributing plants in the intermountain country. The new structure is at Twenty-fourt- h street just off from Wall avenue, a site which has been owned by the company for many years. Every possible detail for the efficient handling of both incoming and outgoing merchandise has been worked out in the construction of the new building. Three- carloads of merchandise may be unloaded at one time, and auto trucks making deliveries are completely sheltered giving protection for the men and the merchandise from stormy weather. The building has two floors 91 feet with elevators and scales arranged to facilitate ease and speed in making shipments. In addition to the Ogden house, Zion Wholesale Grocery is now operating wholesale grocery houses at Salt Lake City, Provo and Price, Utah, and at Pocatello and Idaho Falls, Idaho, in addition to maintaining stocks at numerous other shipping points throughout the intermountain country.
