Mr. Paulson Talks. N.

"He states that some lour months Vf. ago Mr. Collctt ordered from his com- 'paiiy fifty display rases, the agreement rbeing that each "mon-bant or exhibitor Sbuyinx; one of the ascs would pay the iBruiiswick Ballcc-Colli'iidcr eompauy, di-5 di-5 rcci. After ninety days, Mr. Paulsou Es states, very few of tho" cases had been r disposed of, because the exhibitors ) found they could get cheaper rates by ( itsing "wall" space. Mr. Collctt, he j t says, claimed that the exhibitors were "tore" because the display cases were not made in Utah, when, as a matter ffnf fact. Mr. Paulsou declares, most of Jthc cases were manufactured right hen: at the company's factor', where all kinds and classes of that work is being be-ing dailv turned out. jljjj! Removal of Cases. JI 1 Mr. Paulson says, that when he found the cases were not being purchased, Jjfc and finding that the sentiment was St agaiust him. he decided to remove the irf cases. Jn the meantime he had placed 'Art3 arcc mahogany case on display in iiltbc Vermont buildiug, and on October jJK .sent his men there to remove the Ymease. Thcv were informed bv Sccrc j,tary Collctt there was $21 due' for ex-1 Ajhibition charges, and the case was re W jfuscd them. Two davs later Mr. Paul i Uon instructed his men to get the case. JJ jand thcv did. Collott tried to intcr-jSfcrc intcr-jSfcrc with them, and in the mclcc a door k ,was opened in his face, with the result yi ffthat his countenance was somewhat a fawned. j K-Mr Paulson feels that an injustice yj AhtiB been done him iu tho making of OtTthc assert ioif that tho products wore not iwnc manufactured, when no such stipn-ition stipn-ition was made at the time the convict con-vict was made, and because of the irtlicr fact that a number of the cases ere actually made in' the Salt Lake ictory of the company. Mr. Paulson ivs his plant is well equipped to manu-icturc manu-icturc show cases of the style dc vorcd to the Merchants and Manu-murs Manu-murs association, and that it would e foolhardv for him to send away for lie goods when they could bo turned nt hero on short notice.
