HELP M GARDENS i ! - J As a f inther evidence of the importance I of the "war garden" idea on which Kim-1 Kim-1 ball & Richards, "L-and Merchants," have i been laying such stress, a letter has re-1 re-1 cenily heen ivceived by tins lirm fi-om ! t!;e national cniereency food garden com-I com-I mission of Washinsrton, D. C, stating that the commission had "'read with Treat in- j teresf the plans outlined in Kimball & i : Kichards advertising in the Salt Lake papers. Th.e secretarv of the commission. j I S. Risdalc. has asked Kimball & Rich-' Rich-' nrds to keep the commission informed as ; to the success of tiie plan, which uxses j everybody to own a "war garden" home-! home-! site and thus help win the war. The per-j per-j sonnel of the commission consists of sueh ! men as Luther r.-irbank, Dr. Charles V. i Kiiot. Pr. Irving Fisher. Jolm Hays Ham-j Ham-j ntond. Dr. John drier Hiboen. Charles j 1 at hrvp Pack. A. W. Shaw, Hon. Carl 1 Vrooman, Hon. James AA'ilson and other j equally prominent men. Kimball & j Richards feel very much gratified to be associated in this hichly iihportant work I and to iiave their garden -lot plan ap-i ap-i proed by such national awthoritv. Kimball ifc Richards have recently start -, cd a new s'o.in in connection with their ! "war garden" vlars, which reads as fo'-' fo'-' lows: "Hooverir; ycir back yard." This, , slogan has caught the public fancy, and. . ! because of its timeliness, is causinsr a 1 j great deal of favorable comment. During ; the week the lirm received a letter from Denver, in which the writer states that he was so much impressed by the slogan that he had decided to come to S-alt Lake and make his home. He asked for full details of tiie "Hooverize your back j yard" plan, and Kimball & Richards are ; now corresponding with him regarding ; the purchase of a home in this city. Mr. Kimball states that everybody who' reads the new slogan at once recognizes the fact that "1 1 cover ize" means to save, produce, conserve and otherwise efneral-ly efneral-ly "make two blades eroiv where only one grow before." In other words, cultivate your back yard and get back of the Government Gov-ernment in its big problem of feeding a hungry world. |
