The Utah Canning company has opened for the season with a good force and Is canning pork and beans, eoups, etc. Tho Hes3 Biscuit & Bread company also has rosumod work at its cracker factory, and, with a pay roll of good size, is adding to the welfare wel-fare of Ogdca. " We call the attention of our homo people to these two industries as demonstrating dem-onstrating bow, step by step, in a manufacturing way, Ogden can Do made to grow to great proportions. A lew years aco-7-two years ago to be accurate Ogden did not attempt to f-upply Us local demands for canned pork and beans or soups, but today the Utah Canning company, with a measure ot local support, is meeting that demand and is thereby enabled to give employment to members ot many families. And the same is true of the Hess crackers. There had been 110 successful efforts In the manufacture manufac-ture of crackers until or late. At present there Is reason to believe tn'e cracker industry will grow until it becomes be-comes a very material factor in the prosperity of Ogden, But what are the people or Ogden as a whole doing to sustain these industries? in-dustries? Are they asking for homemade home-made goods? Are thoy giving words of encouragement and backing those words with their patronage? The transient tran-sient cannot be expected to enter into the spirit of this work; and it Is 01 little concern to the families that are not premanently tied to Ogden, as to whether these Industries succeed or fail, but to Ogdenites people or property prop-erty the success of every undertaking means much to them amd it is tor them to lend encouragement Our grocery men cannot aek local people to patronize them and turn a deaf ear to eastern houses unless tney let a good example. We speak ot this because It is said the grocers are rot doing all they might to build up local manufacturing enterprises. By concerted effort, unity ot purposes, pur-poses, harmony of action, Ogden can ho made the manufacturing center of the west. Why not aim at such a oesideratum? Aiming high means at least success beyond that which could come from an Indifferent community interest. |
