Show eign or Salt Lake printer. The Skaggs are new people here and perhaps do not fully appreciate the situation and at. not to be blauru-ed blauru-ed but we think the thing is being overuone when he wrenched this snuiil piece of business from the local printer so that a Suit Lake firm could get a little more of Bingham money. We do not wish to criticixe, but we think thus is going pretty strong in the way of trying to kill olf home industry. in-dustry.
