I It Is not the wish of the government to destroy Industry. Y When people know the truth about the candy industry, they lmme- dlately recognize candy as a wonderful food product one that Is rich 't In nutritive values a necessary food for people who work hard. Sugar is a necessity. We do not take our requirements of sugar, a spoonful at a time. Some people like their sugar In candy form. And they are just as much entitled to it in that form as others are entitled 1 to have it melted in their coffee. In 191G (the last normal year In the industry), there were approxl- X i mately 2500 candy factories in the United States, using about 8 f the sugar consumed in the entire country. A much smaller percent- i age than anyone thought. You thought it much higher, didn't you? X The capital invested In the Industry was then more than I $110,000,000; greater now. T I It is the thirty-eighth largest Industry in the United States. T I ; It employs normally 100,000 people, 75 per cent of whom are women. It makes possible, to a large extent, the chocolate and paper box X ; ; Industries, with their millions invested, and employing thousands more T people mostly women. X ;; There are still people who believe that the candy industry Is using T from 25 to 50 of the national sugar production, and that the wiping f ' out of the industry would solve the sugar problem. . The truth Is that only 8 of the sugar was used In normal times, I and today this has been cut to 4. T 9 T Reasonable people, with these facts before them, are realizing that T with only this small amount of sugar going into candy, and in view of I! the high food value, It Is time to consider effecting further savings by A ' ' conserving in other directions as well. X T ' ' X ' ' i x I In normal times the candy Industry uses only 8 of th , , aufar consumed per capita In this country. Rlfht now this . ' amount has been cut squarely in two.

G. Mills I r i - . jtssv An Open U KITED STATES A I ua" I Letter To All Patriotic Citizens of Utah: The war is not finished, even though fighting may be ended. All the nations whom we have conquered must eat, and the United States is the logical source of food supply. . President Wilson, the National War Savings Committee and the National Council of Defense at Washington, D. C, through the Chief of the Field Division, Franklin K. Lane, urges the War Savings Committees wherever located to impress upon everyone that pledges must.be kept and additional ad-ditional stamps must be bought to the extent of between be-tween three and four million dollars by the State of Utah prior to December 31st, 1918. Utah's qucfta must be filled and we must not have any black marks against our beloved State. Buy and go "over the top" on War Savings Stamps, the best obligation Uncle Sam ever offered, four and a half per cent per annum interest and maturing in four years. If we do not buy our quota, the result will be methods of taxation by congress that will hit us all and hurt. Buy while you have the chance and this timely notice is given to everyone. We appreciate what has been done by all organizations organi-zations in Utah and we wish everyone now to get busy and see that Utah's allotment, which we are contracted to buy, is bought before the end of the year. We urge the immediate and continuous attention atten-tion of all War Savings Societies and invite them to correspond direct with the War Savings Headquarters, Head-quarters, Commercial Club, Salt Lake City, Utah. Sincerely yours to accomplish . peace, NATIONAL WAR SAVINGS COMMITTEE t . . State Director of Utah. November 18, 1918. |
