Show BUSINESS RECIPROCITY MORE UTAH PATRONAGE MEANS MORE FACTORIES FOR THE STATE OF UTAH. To Send Money Abroad for Anything That la Raited or Produced at pA Home It a Suicidal Policy V No Wanted Here. The biggest event In tho history cf Utah's Industrial and commercial Interest In-terest will bo held from April 1 to fl. It will bo known as "Utah Pro: ducts Week." At that time it Is in tended to placo before tho public the producta of tho stato In a manner that will impress tho peoplo with the great variety and high standard of local Industries, thereby arousing deeper Interest and moro loyalty for weir support. Every Important pub- . llo organization in tho stato is working work-ing In tho movement. Among these '. are tho Utah Development Leaguo, I the Salt Lako Commercial Club, tho Manufacturers Association of Utah, I tho Natlvo Son9 of Utah, tho Utah Homo Industry Association, the Salt I Lake Real Ketato Association, the Federated Trades, tho Ad Club, Ho- I tall Merchants, and tho two Press associations. I The plan of this campaign for bust- i ncss reciprocity Is as follows: It is I desired that goods, wares and ar- j tides produced or manufactured in I Utah shall bo placed on exhibit in j every city nud town tof tho stale. I Tills can bo dono by "securing win- j dows from tho local merchants. We believe that every ono of them will j be willing to devote a portion of his window spaco for tho purposo lndl- catcd. It will help his buslicss, 1 help his city, bis county and th" ' state. This campaign for Utah should lip- I peal' to every person in tlio state, fo. If means something to every man, j woman and child in this commonwealth. common-wealth. It Is a suicidal policy to send money abroad for anything that is raised or produced at homo. The community that Is thus unwlso can never hope to becomo thrifty. Moro than five hundred articles of every day uso are manufactured In Utah to say nothing of tho numberless , products of farm, orchard and garden, gar-den, range and pasture, that are not , considered in tho manufacturing line. I In every instance it will bo found ' that all products of Utah compare i favorably with the best from el so- ' where. The quality Is also as good and many times better, whllo tho ' price is entirely competitive. This Ct"W being true, tho homo Industry phase ' TtT should bo a strong factor to Induco I "Q& home peoplo to buy thorn. If moro aJJ liberal patronago wcro given to tho I Um producers of this state, there need jH not be an Idlo person In Utah. Loyal I mj support of Industries already hero B will insure the establishment of oth- H era so murh needed. Now concerns BJ can scarcely bo expected if old ones are Indifferently patronlzod. Bj Tho suggestion to support homo In- BJ dustry should bo followed, not merely Bj In theory, but In practice. The ad- I H vice Is good for evorybody and should Bj not bo considered as meaning only I tho "other fellow." Tho success of H one lino or industry helps every I B other line. It has .been said that fl "he Is a, philanthropist who causes two blades of grass to grow where B but ono grew boforo." "What, f&on shall be said of the concern which Is H constantly adding to tho number of fl its employes and Increasing Its pay-H pay-H rolls? B A house can be constructed, from foundation to chimney, of Utah ma-I ma-I terlals, with the possible exception of glass. Tho Interior can be large-9 large-9 ly provided with furnishings of local manufacture. In tho matter of clothing, cloth-ing, each member of tho family can aecuro noarly every necessary ar-tlcfe ar-tlcfe of homo mako. It is, however, In the way of food-stufTs that this state excols. Thcro aro but few articles ar-ticles of nocesslty or of luxury that are not grown or manufactured here. Tho list of Utah products aro too numerous to bo mentioned in this ar-tlclo ar-tlclo and a comparative few nro cited as an Incentlvo for tho consumor to learn moro of tho Bcopo nnd vnriety of thp state's resources. Ihiiro aro mora than seven hundred hun-dred factorlos of ono kind and another) an-other) In Utah, and there is abundant opportunity for Eovoral times thaf number. In lines already partly exploited, ex-ploited, and in others entirely iipw to this locality. It Is no Idle boast to say that not another stato In tho Union equals Utah In tho number fl and ni'.ifinltuilo of natural resource, Theia tiro unlimited quantities of fl Iron, coal, copper, load, building stone H of endless variety. Including marblo fl and onyx; gold, silica, silicon, gypsum, I nitre, graphite, asphaltum, tabbjlte, I olatcrlte, gllsonlte, salt, sulphur; all I the Ingredients of comont, and other substances, of minor Importance. m Wo appeal to ovory citizen of Utah 1! to give loyal support to "Utah Pro- Jfc ducts Week'' nnd to lot that ovont w21 bo tho beginning of a campaign that 7tf v will know no cessation until whirling SB wheels of Industry shall bo heard In m nil parts of our fair stnto. |
