Until the erection of new furnaces during World War II, Ironton was the only blast furnace west of the Rocky Mountains. Quotes Makin "Concerning the plant's success, I'd like to quote a few words from General Superintendent Harold .Makin who says 'Our success cannot be attributed to any one person or group, it results, re-sults, rather, from the cooperative coopera-tive efforts of many. Our employes em-ployes throughout the years have worked loyally in the performance perfor-mance of their jobs. The number num-ber of employes with lond periods pe-riods of service in our plant express ex-press better than words the extent ex-tent of their loyalty.' "To prove Mr. Makin's point I think you'll be interested to know that out of the 350 employes em-ployes inthe Ironton works. 115 have served the company more than 20 years. In other words, nearly one-third of the plant's workers have been on the job ever since it's beginning. Production Records "During the quarter century of its operation the plant has Mrs. Randall Miller left for her. produced more than four million ons of basic and foundry pig iron and used eight million tons of Utah coal and eight million tons of Utah iron ore in this production. pro-duction. Most of the iron from the Ironton plant is sent to open-hearth open-hearth furnaces of Columbia Steel, another U. S. Steel subsidiary in California. " Not only has the Ironton plant succeeded commercially and provided pro-vided jobs and pay rolls for residents resi-dents of Utah county during these past 25 years, but the history of World War II shows that.it was also vitally important as a pilot and MissiPlanl ,n tne use of uian s cok- lng coais. ine experience gained gain-ed at Ironton coke ovens and blast furnaces proved of great value to the management of the government's govern-ment's great war-born Geneva Steel plant. Cooperation "Of course, other operating units of Geneva Steel company and of United States Steel corporation corpor-ation have cooperated fully and extended aid freely to the Iron-ton Iron-ton plant. Industries in the area have always willingly lent assistance when it was needed by furnishing services or materials mater-ials and ,of course, by using the plant's production. Indeed, the community surrounding the plant has accepted the Ironton works in the same spirit of friendliness and cooperation shown to other United States Steel plants by communities com-munities throughout the nation. "A salute is certainly in order to all those who have made it possible for this plant to aid so much in the development and growth of the intermountain v.est and particularly of the Utah valley. The outstanding work of Ironton is a source of real pride to every member of the industrial familv that serves the nation United States- Steel."
