That being the case, you'll want to consider the many choice sites available here in beautiful Utah Valley, in the. central part of the State of Utah. Utah Valley, you know, is the home of the great Geneva Steel Works, America's most modern integrated steel plant and the largest steel works west of the Mississippi. Take a look at some of the assets Utah Valley to has offer: Population The population of Utah County (which covers most of Utah Valley) is 90,000. Provo, the county seat, has about 32,000 inhabitants. Sites Thousands of acres of land in industrial zones are available. The land is level and in close proximity to thriving Utah County cities and towns.' Locations are also available for stores and other commercial 'buildings in commercial .zones of the various communities of the valley. Labor Force Utah Couaty has been cited nationally, for the, high quality of its labor force. A large percentage of the workers own their , own homes. They are interested in their respective communities and do not move from place to please as a 1 ' j general rule. Water Abundant culinary water comes from cold mountain springs near 'the various cities and towns. Agricultural and industrial water supplies come from rivers and 'springs and two large storage reservoirs Deer Creek and Strawberry. The proposed Central Utah Project, part of the vast Colorado "River Storage Project now before Congress i' for authorization. Power Most of the electric energy in Utah is supplied by Utah Power and Light Company whose with the Idaho power lines are Power Company. A number of municipally-owneplants in Utah Valley; including the Provo Municipal Power Plant, also supply electricity. Natural Gas Natural gas is distributed in Utah Valley by Mountain Fuel Supply Company from its gas fields in Utah, Wyoming and Colorado. The available supply was increased in 1953 when the inter-connect- ed " d Utah Natural Gas Company completed a 64-mi- le pipeline fro mthe Carbon and Emery County fields into Utah County. gas Raw Materials Pig iron and-steeare produced in abundance in Utah Valley. Nearby are vast quantities of coal, iron ore, 'limestone, and other mineral raw materials which are transported into the area by rail. One of the largest bituminous coal fields in the country is located in nearby Carbon County. Transportation Utah County is traversed by U.S. 89, 91 and 40. Union Pacific and Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroads operate extensively In and through Utah County..

The Utah output increased of a million tons during the year to ,a total of 6,390,000 tons, according to the National Coal Association. and Alabama Pennsylvania were the only other states to show one-quart- er an increase. . said that at current rates of production, the ton of coal to quarter-billiont- h come out of Utah's rich veins will be mined sometime in April cf v this year. Last year's output brought total production to 223,202,000 tons less than one half of one per cent of the recoverable reserves till in the ground, the association reported. Most of Utah's coal is produced in Carbon County, a substantial amount in Emery County and small tonnages' in Garfield, Grand, Iron, Kane. Sevier,. Summit, and Uintah Counties." Utah coal is marketed chiefly In Utah, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Washington, Oregon and California. Approximately 75,000 tons a The association rona. The major use Is Industrial, including the coking coal used In the steel mills of Utah and California, coal used In electric power generation, in railroad transportation, in manufacturing, and in commerical heating. As of Jan. 1, 1950, Utah's coal reserves were reported to total 92.9 billion ttns. Some of this enormous store of coal Is in seams too thin and impure or too deep to be mined, economically. At the nation's total yearly rate of withdrawal from all coal mines during the last decade (611 million tons a year) Utah's reserve would supply; all United States needs for 76 years. .v. ;sioOOt - ' X Xoe- ',.!,P',"S5crii'. 4 yxv 17Tfjr 1 . w.w.-,-- 'JJiJOCJCOoOOii'l'll,' i-- vms ,V' .V -- "fwsw F; f! ?4 v, 5 - 1 I C O IS y v "Sas ,,',' ''' x " A EXPORT BILLIONS The United States exported almost five billion- pairs of shoes of all- - types not including rubber Utah County Landmarks were Gohstructed of These 'Ssf' year. footwear-las- t li nearly times as powerful as an Ah atom bomb 000,000 ; well-knov- m : equivalent weight of TNT ' - 'vj " ' j;:-: . i 1 . , 'I'- :i 1 1 ; . - .; -- ' 5 manufactured by o LQ - i rl J v.

Benefits of the scientific search at this million and a quarter dollar Research Center can spread beyond the mining industry. The University of Utah will gain added prestige. The new Center is important to the people of Utah because successful , research may mean that the benefits of Utah Copper payrolls, tax payments and supply purchases will continue over a longer period of time. Kennecott, the first copper mining company to establish such a Research Center, is again pioneering to open the door for our future benefits. $ Ip i u i t o Build s Bttttr Vtib t Steam Plant J Ar Clark's Men's Store Provo Power' Plant Geneva Ward Church Spanish Fork Veterans Memorial Building it Utah Valley Hospital And hundreds of beautiful Utah County Homes v REMEMBER: Brick is TWICE economical Economical to build and economical to maintain. .'.V y !

When the Center opens soon, a staff of 50 scientists and technicians will carry on research already begun in a temporary building. They will seek new methods for extracting a higher percentage ofmetal from ore at Kennecotts Utah and other western mines. This would help make possible the use of low grade material that would otherwise be worthless. In this way Utah's resources can actually be made to grow.
