The Ogden Iron Manufacturing Company was organized in 1873, with headquarters at Milwaukee, Wis., which were since removed to this city. The company expended about $120,000 on the erec¬tion of the works. The enterprise resulted in a failure, those who invested in it losing their money, greatly discouraging the com¬munity. They were sold by virtue of a trustee deed by Mr. T. J. Stayner, on the 22d day of November, 1877, and were bidden in by the bondholders. We will have more to say in reference to these works hereafter; they have changed hands and bid fair to become a great success. On the 3d of October, 1875, President U. S. Grant arrived at this city on his brief visit to Utah. Ogden City is located at the Western base of the Wasatch range of mountains, about 12 miles East of the Great Salt Lake.

"Two SOULS with but a single thought," is a very beautiful expression of unity, but two (shod¬dy) SOLES with but a single row of pegs makes a miserably poor pair of shoes. "My SOUL'S in arms and eager for the" banishment of such worthless SOLES from these "valleys of the mountains-" The dealer in shoddy boots and shoes, as he hands those articles to a purchaser, grinningly remarks: ''SOLD again," and the wearer soon realizes that HE has indeed been "SOLD again," as he is forced to make early and frequent visits to the cobblers' to have the shoes SOLED again. This community is remarkable for the SOLid men and women it contains—good and worthy SOULS, the SOLES of whose feet wearily trod the SOLitary, trackless prairies to find a resting place in Utah. Such whole-SOULED people should wear good SOLid SOLES, and I SOLEmnly assert that my standard screw fastened Boots and Shoes are "just the thing." Ask all Storekeepers for Rowe's celebrated home-made Boots and Shoes. Factory and Salesroom at the "Big Boot," 87, East Temple Street, Salt Lake City. Ye suffering SOULS cease to sigh, Complain not of corns on your toe, Your comfort's secured if you'll buy The Shoes made by WM. H. ROWE. |
