Show A UTAH INDUSTRY. Some idea of the magnitude of the dried fruit industry may be gathered from the fact that Zion's Co-operate Mercantile Institution of this city has already shipped, of this season's crop, 1,065,485 pounds weight or over 53 car loads of 20,000 pounds each. Before the season is over, it is expected the shipments by this firm alone will aggregate 75 car loads, or in round numbers, one and a half million pounds. From dried fruits this season, upwards of a quarter million dollars will be realized by the people of this Territory.-News. |
