Show ll 11 IS A BOOSTER FOR THIS CITY Ogden has one booster in the person of G. S. Young of Lansing, Mich. Mr. Young is in the city at present and so enthusiastic Is he as to the future of Ogden that he intends to stay here several months. He is a prominent seed merchant and as such has business busi-ness interests in all parts of the country. He says that he thinks Ogden may be justly proud of the record It has made among other cities in the way of progress along the lines of manu-! factoring. With its fine railroad fa-j clllties and the rapidly growing farming farm-ing community in the near vicinity, there is a wonderful future for it The growth of manufacturing industries within the past few years amply testifies tes-tifies to the confidence the business men have in the city. "The Ogden canyon Is one of the most wonderful spots In the United States," he said. "It is worth a trip out here to visit that wonderland and enjoy the cool breezes that are always blowing there. The people of Ogden do not realize what a fine thing it is to have such a place as that as a refuge from the heat. To think that all one has to do Is to get onto a street car for a few minutes' ride to escape the heat, is enough to make people of some of the eastern cities green with envy. Just think what a boon that would be to the people of Chicago at the present time. "Another thing that deserves special commendation is the number of pretty women to be seen In Ogden. In no other city in the whole country can one see so many of them. And in no other city in the country are they so well behaved. I was p?rtlcularly impressed im-pressed with the way they conduct themselves on the streets. Attending strictly to their own business, they are always to be seen acting properly on the streets. I was surprised to note this, because an unescorted lady in some cities would be liable to cause unfavorable comment. The women here have so much more freedom than they do anywhere else. It is certainly a fine thing and the way it should be everywhere-" Mr. Young, in company with R. G. Edmonds, a leather dealer of Lansing, just returned from a tour of Yellowstone Yellow-stone park. Of this trip he could not say enough. He was only sorry that he had not placed more credence in the wonderful things said about It He had always thought all the things mentioned about the park in the advertisements ad-vertisements were mere exaggerations to induce people to go there. Now he says there has not been enough said about the wonderful things to be seen in the park. "What has been said about Yellowstone Yellow-stone national park Is so inadequate to do it justice," he said, "that I am willing to believe anything I hear from now on. There Is no possible way to tell of the wonders there and do them justice. It is the greatest treat I ever had and I will be one of the best boosters the park has ever had from this date. "The thing that impressed me particularly par-ticularly is that the help all through the park are educated people. The chauffeurs of the cars are fine, gentlemanly gentle-manly fellows and a veritable bureau of information. They have been picked for what they know, it seems to me. The young ladies in the dining rooms and hotels are apparently college girls, up there for their vacation. They are a fine lot of people. "In fact, you people hero will do well to advertise Yellowstone park all you can, for the majority of the people will pass this way on their way up there. Incidentally, insert a good boost for this city In the park literature litera-ture and you are doing a double duty that will reflect to the credit of Ogden In due time." |
