Show HOI INSTITUTIONS PROMISEOSUPPORT Utah-Made Good Are to be Giren Preference Because of Sheer Merit. Manufacturer! Are Asking UUluis to Purchase Home-Mad Tleeju. Not Prom Patriotism, Out Van Matter of S6und Business'. "For Utah's Pcrmniicnt Prosperity" Is tho slogan around which the cam pnlgii of tho Utah Manufacturers association asso-ciation cnmimlfQ for tho support of homo Institutions 1 bains waged. The lunnufflcturerH are coins before the people on a strictly business basis and are asking thorn to support Utah factories fac-tories and use Utah-made goods not at a matter of loyalty or patriotism, but as' mnttcr of good sound business. In the first place the manufacturer ask that Utah-made goods be given tho preference only when they compare com-pare favorably In both qualify and price with goods shipped In from the outside. Secondly they urge that If Utah pcoplu would buy Utah-'madv goods and build up tho manufacturing industry it would Insure permanent prosperity to alt the pcoplo of the sUts by reason of the fact that the millions of dollars now being scut out of the state for manufactured products ,voul(l bo kept here In clrculuUon and the result re-sult would be more employment, more btulness activity and more opportunities opportuni-ties for everybody. Since the earliest days of Utah's hlxtory Utuh people have been urged to buy Utah-made goods becouno that wum the only way In which we could expect to tin I Id up the ntntc. For some reason, however, the Idea 1ms prevailed In man' quarters that an article made In some eastern factory and shipped thousands of mllos was of superior quality to the "uoine-inude" product. This mar be because of the fact that "a prophet Is not without honor sayo In his own country." Dut It seems strange te people of other states that Utah people have not In tho past appreciate) ap-preciate) the virtues of Utah-made goods. In many states, cast ami to, ' Utnn -Roods are given tho fiifffrTOce over other products becaime' of sheer merit the qunilty Is superior. Yet many of us, here at home, persist In pstronUtng eastern houses und buy Ing eastern goorin, thus btillillai: up eastern roiniiiunVlen wille onr own coimuunlty Is left to K'Jt along as best It may. IIuppll', however, IIiIh condition In fast changing. Many of the progressive progres-sive peoplu of the xtatu are behind tho movement to Insist upon U)uh goods for Utah people There Is no reuNon why Utah Miould not become n great Industrial stato und employ many thousands of people in her factories. Today if even half tho articles purchased pur-chased by Utahns were Utah-made (referring to articles made In Utah) tho payrolls of Utah factories would be multiplied many times, there, woulj be bettor markets for the products of tho farms and more prosperity for the people of nil flatten. That this port of u sentiment may he created tho Utuh Manufacturers association Is conducting con-ducting the state-wide campaign now under way. In order to convince tho people of thu state tliut the welfare of the entire state Is sought nnd no appeal ap-peal Is to be made on a basis of loyalty they are nuking the people of every district In tho state to Join the buy-at-home movement und to give Utah-made Utah-made products the preference when they can do so without the sacrifice of either quality or price. The campaign cam-paign thus fur has been Kiiccosnful far beyond the hopes of the suppnrtcrx end there Is every Indication that the results will be beneficial to the state and satisfactory to nil concertifd. |
