ICo-operntlon by housewives of L'tah in the purchase of Utah-made cin has l.een one of the prime reasons for rontlnucd activity among L'tah manufacturers, manu-facturers, according to the r'tah Manufacturers' Man-ufacturers' association. To the l'tah Stntc Federation uf Women's clubs as well as thousands of individual women wom-en not afflllaredJ with any organization organiza-tion Is clvcn much of the credit for this spirit As a result I'tah's Industries Indus-tries have kept busy, l'tah labor has been emnlovcd. l'tah taw material have been used and there has not been tho depression felt In many other sections. sec-tions. The Utah Manufacturers' association associa-tion was organised about slteen years ago. for the purpose of tunlding up the state from an industrial Standpoint This was to he done through preaching preach-ing the doctrine Of co-operation; not only co-operatton between the manufacturer manu-facturer and the Inning public, but between the employer and enipkne as well The Utah Manufacturers' association associa-tion is a member of the National Chamber of Commerce and of the National Na-tional association f Manufacturers) Its president during the past year has been Edward H.

SLOGAN ADV 1XC1CS WS3 The association has, ;hr iugli Its gan of " Buy Home-Made Goods, Price and Quality Ui tng Equal,' been able I to teach the greater portion of Unpeople Un-people that industrial prosperity is the I life of tho state and that the state ! advances only as its Ihdustrli B enlarge. President Heber J. ;rant has said:: "As the heart is the circulating med-j ium for every drop of blo.xl sustain-.' ins Hfe in tho body, so is the dollar j the circulating medium which means i the life of the community." n on- occasion recently, he urged his audi- i ence not to divert the industrial life blood of the community Into foreign arteries or channels, declaring that if the citizens of the state would keep their money circulating .it home, L'tah I would soon occupy the position Just-1 ly descries, the financial and liulu -trial center of the lntertnountaln i oun-I oun-I t ry. The association had in view also the j plan to create a closer relationship be-j iween employer and employe. This has been given a practical demonstration' i vear after year, until It has become la well-established fact that the employes em-ployes of L'tah s factories are prob- ' ably the most loyal of any to be founti throughout the Cnlted States. While there has been some degree of dissension in a few instances be-I be-I twecn 1 h- employers and employes In I some of I'tah's Industries, since the In- ceptlon of the association, the strikes In Utah's factories could be counted I on the fingers of one hand I The association does not ask that the product of the faetoties of I tail i be purchased from a spirit o-f pat.rlot-Ism pat.rlot-Ism only, but that price and quality being equal, the home manufactured I article be given preference. The mnn-Ufa mnn-Ufa turers of ihe state of l'tah arc producing Quality goods ami arc per-I per-I fectly willing to compete with any out- side article on a price and quality I'umv. U hethet or not a l'tah citizen is financially interested In I'tah's factories, fac-tories, f it b, r as a stockholder or an I employe, he is affected even though he I does not know It. if not from patrlot-I patrlot-I Ism, then from the standpoint of self-interest. self-interest. WOMEN SHOW INTER! 81 Tht women have come to the realisation reali-sation that they are interested In L'lah's factories because they can get the best products from sanitary fac-1 I tories of the state at the same or a I lower price than they would have to par for an Inferior article from the outside: also they are Interested be-l cause their husbands, brothers, sis-' ters, or they themselves are either dl-' rectl or indirectly affected in almost every Instance by home industry.
