The idea is to have the manufactures man-ufactures in our state make all the things here that it is possible, and to have the people buy and use these rather than to send to the eastern states for them. The'people of Utah would then beoome independent and self-sustaining. Gov. Brigham Young taught this very much to the people, who came with him. If they had not taken his advice they may not have succeeded suc-ceeded in building the state, which we now call Utah. I wonder if the people have always lived up to mis teaching. Come, with me and visit one of the stores. Here we have on this shelf a brand of tomatoes put up in California, Cali-fornia, here is some condensed milk canned in Illinois. This Velvet coca manufactured in Boston. The prunes and dried fruit cured in California. Now let us go to the dry goods department. Here we have some shoes made in Chicago, here are others from Maine and St. Louis. Most of the cloth from New York. Overalls from Denver and San Francisco. Fran-cisco. Shirts for men and boys from New Jersey. Now let's look over the knives. Here is a jack "knife from Germany, others from France, scissors from England and many more things of this sort from foreign countries. Everything Ev-erything from other states and nations na-tions but nothing from Utah. Do you call that boosting Utah? No! Can't we make nearly everything we have mentioned? They can can peas in our neighboring town Ephraim, and can't we raise beans instead of sending to Mexico for them? Can't we dry apples, prunes, peaches and many more fruits? We can make overalls, woolen goods and other very important things. We just as .well make-and buy these things here In Utah. They are no better made in any other state or nation. Boost for Utah, first last and all the time. j UTAH'S PROFIT DAY (By Ina Larsen) The manufacturing and business men's associations have set apart a week which they call Utah Products Week. Now we should observe this week and do all our trading in Utah, because if we all trade in Utah it will build it up more and more each day. ' I will give you some of my ideas on how we may benefit our state and and ourselves by using Utah made goodB. 1. Gives Ufah people employment. employ-ment. (a) In producing more raw material ma-terial if they have a ready market. (b) Tliey would have work in factories, fac-tories, working up this new material. Encourage us in agriculture lines, raise more sugar beets. Sugar is a very valuable commodity and the demand de-mand is great. It. gives a great deal of employment to many people which also could and should be given (o people from our own stnte. Dry fanning is another line that by working up would mean much to our state and would help to bring money and employment to our people. peo-ple. The Uinta Reservation is a wonderland won-derland in this line and will bring a new railroad through that district dis-trict which means lnorc money and lighter taxation for the people to bear. 2. Buying Utah products. (a) It keeps money at home, the money goes in a circle paying for the raw material. (hi Paying for employment. (cl Paying for manufactured goods. By buying Utah products it builds up large factories ami pays taxis in Utah, thus giving no more money for the following. Remember there are roads to be built, our schools and educational institution for the public, such as schools for the deaf and blind etc. Then there are public works and improvements, charities, military and National gtuards, our police, courts, board of health and a great many other expenditures which if this money for Utah made goods was Kept at home, would help to make all these better and would help our people financially and soon we would be one of the very richest and best states in the Union. Now if everyone could only agree and decide to build up Utah and have its stores and markets buy their goods and their stuffs In Utah, look how much more we would he ahead. Even if the people In Mount Pleasant Pleas-ant would work toward this end.' For instance. Mount Pleasant markets and shops could buy from the City Bakery Instead of sending away for their bread and kindred products. i We would thus use Mount Pleasant Pleas-ant flour and products. The Baker would pay rent, taxes, etc.. In Mount Pleasant and we would keep all this money at home. Same may he said of harnesses and other articles. Mount Pleasant could note a large Investment In the bakery line. It would help to build Mount Pleasant and also Utah. The following are Utah made goods: Woolen Goods, Macaroni. Sugar, Su-gar, Ice, Flour. Salt. Cigars. Shoes Overalls, Candy. Vinegar, Lumher, Peas. Molasses, Tomatoes, TTonev, Soda Water. Poaches, Beer. All kinds of pickles. Butter. Cheese, Baking Powder, Cocoa, Chocolate, Coffee, Tea, Raisins, Mush Stuffs, Postum, canned milk, ratsnip, pork and beans, Brick. Cement. Plaster. Lime, Monuments, Monu-ments, Pictures, Harness and Saddles, Sad-dles, Books, Crockery, Potash, Packing Pack-ing house products, Canned meat, Tanneries, Extracts, Epson Salts,. Dyes. |
