Show CALIFORNIA SUN ADVERTISED AS THE BRIGHTEST Caliiormans never overlook a bet. New York sat up and took notice wnen the California delegation arrived ar-rived for the big convention. The parade pa-rade down the streets was, of course, headed by a hand and flooded out all he pyrotechnics. To cap the climax cli-max three pretty girls brought, up the rear, throwing California oranges orang-es to the massed crowds of people along the way. It was million-dollar publicity brought to the highest point of perfection. And way not? California has built a million-people city at Los Angeles by her marvelous publicity. With their so-called "sunkissed" oranges and "sun-cured" puunes and other "sun"-procesce(i products blazoned to the world in costly advertising the Californians have about convinced con-vinced manlkind that the only genuine gen-uine sun is the California sun and that all others are cheap imitations. There is as much sunshine and better peaches at St. George or To-querville, To-querville, or Provo, as in California, hut no one in Utah has gone out aud told it to the country. Utah pears and cherries and potatoes and beef and wool and many other products beat California's, but the world has never been told about it. As for scenery, no place In tho world equals Bryce's canyon or the Beaver river, or Puffer's lake, or tho Natural Bridges. If they were in California Cal-ifornia pictures of them would appear ap-pear in every magazine In America and on every billboard and street car But n lot of Utah people do not even realize that these scenes of beauty are in Utah. The California spirit is admirable. It is a State without kilockers. Every Ev-ery Californian is a booster. And they bring home Hie bacon. |
