Show AD MEN BACK FROM MEETINGJNjfQRQHTQ Spent Much Time at Convention Con-vention Boosting for Salt Lake and Utah. T. F. Thomas, Malcolm McAllister. Stringham Stephens and Harry 'S. Anderson, Ander-son, the Utah delegation to the International Interna-tional convention of advertising clubs at Toronto, returned home yesterday, mightily might-ily pleased with their trip, but very glad to get back to their mountain home. While in Toronto the quartette of advertising ad-vertising men spent the 'greater part of their time boosting for Salt Lake. They proved themselves to be great advertising advertis-ing men. and did a great deal toward acquainting ac-quainting the advertising men of America with the wonders of the west. They especially es-pecially urged everyone to stop off at Salt Lake on the way to the California fairs in 1915. Speaking of the trip, Mr. Thomas said: We left Salt Lake on June 16 and stopped en route at Chicago and Detroit. De-troit. At Detroit we were taken through the great Ford automobile factory, which turns out 1100 cars daily and employs 9000- men. We also visited Buffalo and the peace conference confer-ence at Niagara Falls, proceeding to Toronto by boat. We were welcomed at Toronto by the Forty-eighth Highlander High-lander band, a wonderful musical, organization or-ganization of forty pieces. Dr. John McDonald delivered on June 21 at Massey hall, in Toronto, one of the greatest addresses I have ever heard. The subject was "The Greatest Achievement of North America," and related to the century cen-tury of peace between the United States and England. The music for this meeting was furnished by the Mendelssohn choir of 250 voices. ' Through the work of the Utah Bill Posting company and Harry S. Anderson An-derson two large billboards advertising advertis-ing Utah and Inviting the world to stop at Salt Lake in 11)15 were placed within the convention grounds, and dozens of others were placed in different dif-ferent parts of the city. The advertising adver-tising will doubtless prove of great benefit to the city and state. The Utah delegation worked hard, in common with other western delegations, dele-gations, to bring the 1915 convention to San Francisco, but we were outvoted out-voted by the east. Malcolm McAllister McAllis-ter delivered a strong address before the trade and technical publications department of the convention. Following the convention we went to Montreal and thence to New York, where Mrs. Thomas anxl myself left the rest of the party. Mrs. Thomas and I then went to Washington where, through the courtesy of Senator Sen-ator Charles S. Thomas of Colorado, we were presented to the president and enjoyed a short talk with him. He received us very cordially and congratulated Mrs. Thomas on her right to vote. I did not talk politics with the president, but 1 did discuss the political outlook in Utah with Secretary Bryan, Secreta ry McAdoo, Commissioner Tallman and Comptroller Comp-troller Kane. They were all very pleased at the outlook for Democratic success in Utah this fall. We also met and chatted with Senator Smoot. He was presiding officer when we reached the senate chamber, but Senator Sen-ator Thomas relieved him that he might have the opportunity to converse con-verse with us. Returning we Joined the other thre delegates at Chicago and completed the Journey with them. We are all agreed that the trip was the finest we ever had. |
