The 150 men who work in the acre and a half machine shop are part of the team of 6,000 who produce copper in Utah. Where does the money come from to pay the men and buy the expensive equipment housed in the Machine Shop? It comes from one source only. By selling copper at a profit, Utah Copper is able to spend the money needed t repair and maintain equipment. Profits buy new equipment and pay for developing better mining, milling and refining'methods. When Utah Copper sells its product profitably, it continues the operations that produce prosperity for people living in every section of our stave. te - r : rtnr a.. -7 ay.V e v i . v 'tighlor tl c I t ' g 2.4 . f , to EuitJ a W-- 1 4 .
