Show MADE IN UTAH MEANS QUALITY ' I tv'lt- t H A number of tho essays recently I submitted for prizes offered by tho Association wero not acceptable, for thoy contained matters not in accord with actual fact. In order to do Justice Jus-tice to a'l parties It wan determined io so ndviEO the Superintendents of Instruction In tho districts from which such essays wero received and u 'otter from which wo extract tho I following wns sent to such points. "Upon rending a number of the cr-isnys cr-isnys written upon tho subject, Tho I)oelopntent of Utah's RcKiurcds nnd I Industries, and Why Utah Poop o Should Use Utoh Mndo Goodti, tho committee Judging the merit of tho rospoctlo essays discovered In many of them tho general statement that while Utah mado goods wero not up to tho standard of foreign mado nrtl clcs of similar grades, or perhaps cost l more, it was tho host policy nnd duty du-ty ctlli to use tlin utnh mndo goods. "This statement tho commltteo could not understand, fbr tho facts (do not warrant such a conclusion. It Is quite truo that tho quality of Utah mado goods, grado for grade, Is In u number of cases superior to Imported Import-ed articles nnd In every case certainly certain-ly not Inferior. "As it Is very important that tho truth should bo known nnd thus' falHO Impressions removed, tho manufacturers manufac-turers of Utah urge you, In nil kindness, kind-ness, to infoim tho young under your cbnrgo of thot facts." Reasons why the products of Utah factories and work shops should bo bought by Utah peoplo hnvo been so consistently and persistently sot loitl In the columns of tho Payroll 1 Hullder thnt It would Room qulto su-pcrllunus su-pcrllunus oven to refer to them again 'and It Is not tho purposo of thowrlt I or to do so. Hut it does seem nee 1 esRary to everlastingly hnmnior nwn i upon tho fact thnt Loyalty, absoluto ! Loyalty, should bo extended to the Utah manufacturer by tho retailor and dlstilbutor. And tho samo loyalty loy-alty should bo ndopted by tho buying public townrd tho retailor. Fiom my own experience, in tho main number of cases tested, It has been found thnt tho retailer docs not completely stock tho products nnd who.ro ho does not glvo them a preferred posl tlon in his store, whero thoy can be seen. Neither does ho drnw atten tlon to them In any way! Why ho does not cannot bo understood. Lock of thought, doubtless, la tho main rnson. If tho render will hut onco think long enough ho will realize that tho moro Utah goods, he will soli, tlu? 4j I gieater will bo tho Utah pajroll nnU ifl that it is not only ho who Is support- ed by this payioli but tho stato ltsolr 'W l thus innlntninod. It Is beside the- ' -II question, 0f course, to Intlmnto that tfl many 0f tho i.tato's olllcers nnd em- ISM ployos appear to forgot this fact, but "tH nevertheless It bi tiuo. jffl There nro about eight liundrcit " 'iU , iimnufnrtiirinK dims, and there nro f j$H CS dlfforcnt Items In building matorl. i IB olf.; 23 dlffoient things to wear, 1U jifl different things to eat and I2.'i nils- BJ reihiiionuH Items mndo In Utoh. : II I will clto two or threo Instances.
