Show SCHOOL CHILDREN VISIT NEKTO PLANT ; s '-W fgT-'. ' -a!J3iii ''3Sffi Pupils of the seventh grade, Wa satch school, regailing themselves on Nekto after seeing it manufactured. Five months ago if some one. had proposed that sixty school children of Salt Lake be taken through a brewery, the proposal would have been met with exclamations of horror. Yet Thursday sixty pupils, constituting the seventh grade of the Masateb school, were taken through the old Salt Lake brewery under un-der the direction of their teachers, Mrs. Wliitworth and Mi8B Voti. The reason why no exception could be taken to the movement now is that they went, not to see liquor manufactured, manufac-tured, but to see a harmless, strictly prohibition beverage in process of making. The beverage is known as Nekto, ami is manufactured by the C.ullen Ice. and Storage company in the old Salt Lake brewery on Tenth East and Fifth South. ' The children were taken to the plant as part of their course in the study of tha home industries of Utah. They were shown each step of tho manufacture manufac-ture of Nekto up to bottling and packing pack-ing avay in cases. As the youngsters left the plant they were each given a pint bottle of Nekto to take home. As Nekto is manufactured from cereals ce-reals and hops, it ranks as a pure-food beverage and has been made the subject of one-minute talks in various schools of the city recently. |
