''Sleep on a Provo mattress and sleep well." If you ever visit the spacious factory of the Utah county Mattress company at Wl West second North street in Provo and see how well made abd sleep provoking are their mattresses, wou are certain to adopt the above slogan as your own, and will insist from then on to have your bed equipped with one of them. You can get any kind of a mattress from the local factory, from a baby crib to a large tuftless. If you desire to pay all cash )iu may; do so. if you have on fiaii any old discarded clothing or rags ynu may send fifty pounds vr n to the mattress factory, pay from five to ten dolled edge or plain edged mattress, dollars cash and get a first class Should you desire a tuftless mattress you will have to pay all cash. Charles Burrows, proprietor of the Utah County Mattress company opened the factory at the present location tbout 13 years ago. Before that time be bad been head, carder for 12 years in the Provo Woolen Mills and for six years In ' the Deseret Woolen Mills in Salt Lake In fact, he grew up in a City. woolen milL From the time he was ten years of age until he reached 27 he was employed in the woolen mills of Nottingham England. When the Provo Woolen Millls shul down inl905Mr. ;Burrows ac-'- . cepted a position as head carder at the large woolen mills at Knoxville, Tennessee. Retiring from there after one year, he Wrame foreman 00 Od OO Hi of the Utah Bedding company of Salt Lake City where he remained for one year. At that time he had convinced himself that it he was able to run the other fellows business at a profit, he should be able to manage his own business profitobly. Having little or no capital with which to start a business, Mr. Burrows converted his stable and Into a mattress factory. So substantial and restful did he make his product that his business grew with leaps and bounds, and It became necessary for him to enlarge his factory. A brick building covering a floorspace of 3600 square feet was erected and is at present housing the various machinery necessary in a mattress business. The factory employs 10 people the year around and from eight to 20 mattresses are made dally, making a total output of about 5,000 mattresses a year. Besides the manufacture of mattresses, the factory does anexten-slvbusiness in carding wool for making quilt bats for private and manufacturing concerns. One firm in the state of Utah gets more than 20,000 woolen bats carded annually by the local factory. Individual sheep raisers in every state in the intermountain territory send large shipments of wool for carding. One shipment came recently from a customer as far east as Brooklyn New York. A large business has been created in the making of dolled edge or plain mattresses from old discarded clothing. When the clothing comes to the factory, it is put through a large ragpicker which picks it almost into its native element. From thera it goes into the carder where ft is 'made into a felt; then to the stuffing machine from there to the. tick and finally to the Bewtng table where it becomes a finished product. - fig-an- d semi-annu- fr "b" j 1 been-select- v. ed . tonight , in oi,""1. hay-bar- n two-stor- y Co-o- p Co-o- p k e THANKS!
