SALT LAKE CITY, APRIL 6, 1929 Volume 39 - Number 39 and state, that there is a permanent attraction. We hope that the idea of Utah is being sold to manufactures, business men, homeseekers first of all and the tourists last of all. This is the tune of year when people are interested in towns and cities. It is the end of winter and the beginning of the spring season when the nomad spirit sways men and makes them cast about to better themselves. It appears that there is somewhat of an influx of people from other states into this city. The movement has been quite marked during the past two or three months and is a good sign for the future of the city. If industrial research, creating of good living conditions and improvement of advantages to industries can be carried out by the chamber, by all means, that should be done. In the meantime, Salt Lake and Utah will catch its share of tourists this summer whether it spends $75,000 in tourist publicity or not. .The travelers will inquire, they will receive their replies, and they will flock through on their way to California. But the homeseeker, the manufacturer, the business man; none of these are interested in tourist travel, in beauty spots or a short vacationing stop. They are interested in development, in progressiveness, in permanent welfare. The tourists are coming lets keep them coming. But to get the permanent resident, there is the greater problem.

Inasmuch as the average American citizen needs the impetus of some special week or an advertising campaign to galvanlize him into action, now is a propitious occasion to take advantage of the urge to brighten up the home surroundings. Plant something anything. Dig a hole and put some seeds into it. Take the barren comers and patches from your property by use of shrubs and ornamental flowers. Groom the lawn, for after all, the lawn is the foundation of the beauty of home surroundings. And of course, drag down the paint brush and give the home its long needed bath of color..
