Foxley said much of the job of selling the valley to prospective businessmen and industry goes unseen by the public and members of the Chamber because that's the way the customer wants it. "There're people coming in here all the time, at least six a year." But, Foxley added, "the representatives don't want anybody to know." "They're the most secretive potlick-er- s you've ever seen in your life. We have no idea who the man represents," Foxley acknowledged. Very often the representative presents a business card with only his name on it, no business and no telephone number. Generally, the prospective customer has let the executive secretary know by phone or letter that (in the case of an industry) he is looking for so many acres, perhaps, near a railroad siding and, perhaps, that the industry would require lots of water. A new business might inform the executive secretary that it needs a Main Street location with so many square feet of footage. After getting the royal tour of prospective sights conducted by Foxley and the Chamber president, the representative disappears into the anonymity that protects him, many times never to be heard from again. Besides the business and industry representatives who just show up on their own to look over the community, the local Chamber has two other recruiting tools at their disposal. Quarterly, Foxley explained, he meets with the Industrial Promotion Department in Salt Lake City where he and others like him look at the list of businesses and industry which have indicated an interest in establishing somewhere in Utah. From the list, Foxley chooses the ones who appear to be looking for conditions that might be found in the Bear River Valley. Letters are then sent out, providing basic information about the valley to the prospective customers with an invitation to visit. The possible customers range in size and possible payroll. For example, Foxley pointed out that at a recent quarterly visit to the Industrial Promotion Department, Blending and Manti both decided to compete for the attention of a man who wanted to construct a facility where he could produce Indian jewelry. One prerequisite was that the location be able to provide "authentic Indians." Another tool operated by the Industrial Development Board is a computer which stores up a wealth of information about nearly every community and possible business locations in the state on the one hand, and information about the likes and dislikes of business and industry on the other. A representative for a light industry might, for instance, give the department a list of his firm's requirements and "maybe the computer will spit out six towns in Utah" from which to choose, Foxley said. Much of the information in the computer is provided by Chamber of Commerce representatives like Foxley. When a business building in Tremon-ton- , for instance, is vacated.Foxley provides the computer with that information, plus other information, such as location, square footage, dimensions and the name of the owner of the building.
