NOT WORDS ALONE. While you boost for Salt Lake buy In S.'dt Lake' There u more value to Salt Lake in a dollar of trMrlc than In five thousand vapid words of hurrah! Our attention has been attracted to this by the just complaint of business men of this city that somo of the people, most interested interest-ed in the welfare of Salt Lake, make a practice of buying their personal adornment adorn-ment and their line poods In any other Place on cnrlh than the town for which they boost and wear the button. The head of one of the prominent business houses of this community said the other day that while "all the men were busy in Salt Lake all the time wearing the badge' in their coat lapels, some of them kepi themselves extremely extreme-ly bur-: buying goods elsewhere, which -oii. i hc. duplicated in the establishments establish-ments of Salt Lake at as low price as could be found In the United States. He . :ited th fact that before the holiday-season holiday-season a prominent man of Philadelphia, Philadel-phia, traveling with his wife across the continent, happened to step Into one of the noted establishments of Salt Lake to see some fine goods running up Into thousands of dollars In price. The ladyr was greatly pleased with the display at the time The pair went to San Frtn-Clsco Frtn-Clsco theno u Portland, and finally back to Salt Lake Here they ordered the gooil. stating that they had not been able to . lsew here anything of ' qu il Quality at the p,une price. To boost for Salt Lake In words is all well enough; to buy In Salt Lake is better. There Is not a need that cannot can-not be supplied through some loca'. manufacturer merchant or agent, and if we expect to build here a metropolis we must do It through the enlargement of industry and commerce Keep up the hurrah for the Greater Salt Lake. Keep it up in words. Keep it up by means of buttons And best of all keep It up by building a Greater Salt Lake In very deed
