Private enterprise has a very definite faith in East Carbons future. The most important fact is that private enterprise has not stopped its expansion here. No, they are continuing' to expand. Utah Fuel built its community building, a stock-pil- er and other sizeable projects; Kaiser built 60 new homes, is opening a new mine, purchased the coke oven3 and spent nearly a million dollars on its improvement; Geneva Steel built 120 new homes.

Action always speaks loudest and these companies have spoken by making these improvements. East Carbons future is bright; very bright.

' WASATCH STORES BEGAN OPERATION IN 1892 Started as Store Selling Bare Necessities As Required in the Old Pioneer Coal Camps A unique and successful merchandising store that began back in Utah in 1892, reached an impressive milestone when the new civic center opened in Sunnyside, is the Wasatch Store company.

Each is a complete store, making available nearly everything, required by families residing at or near the camps.

The reserves of coking coal are ample for the next twenty-fiv- e to fifty years. Beyond that point there is more than enough for many years in the future. What about a market for coking coal? The steel industry is the chief market although there are many other important user of the king of all coal, the coking coal. The steel industry has just started to grow in the west Geneva and Fontana, the two biggest and most important operators in the west, were developed during the war years, At present they are the two most efficient and modem steel plants in the United States. They can compete with any of them. Their most important function is to take care of the western expansion, .that is going forward by leaps and bounds. The west coast has increased its population in the past 10 years by nearly 50. The entire intermountain area has had sizeable population increases.
