Show UTAH STATjBS ASSOCIATION Getting Together Our readers will notice this week that we print at the head of our editorial column a cut stating that the Chronicle is a member of the Utah State Press Association. This does not mean we are in a "trust," but rather that the country printers are getting together so as to be worthy of "trust." Practically every class of business in Utah has an Association, and only the country printer without one. The first of October saw the formation for-mation of the Utah State Press . Association,- and every week has seen additions to the membership. member-ship. The rising costs of paper, ink and materials of all kinds, have made it imperative to raise prices; the laws of the state are none too liberal to the press and these are but a few of the many things that make united action advisable. What, with the mechanical and editorial work to look after, the average country printer is admittedly a poor business man. To hire an expert to advise on business matters, to figure the cost of printing, and many other things, would be impossible for the country printer, but by banding band-ing together they can secure the information from an expert at a surprisingly small cost to each-yet each-yet worth thousands of dollars to the printers. This paper has always aimed to be just and fair to its patrons, and because of this, we are members mem-bers of the Utah State Press Association, which is trying to help the- printers in business lines and. to assist in maintaing honest prices and honest competition. compe-tition. The work it is doing is along the lines endorsed by the Federal Trade Commission, being purely "educational" and based on the Standard Cost System. Sys-tem. Every weekly newspaper in the state should belong, and the editor of this paper will be only too glad to give more particulars to any brother not a member.
