The importance of this industry, established by the steel corporation has meant more to Utah and the west than any development before in its history. to author Baum, you could look at it this way the was putting Steel Corporation about tyght dollars on the nose of each one of the 15,500,000 citizens of the three Pacific Coast states and the intermountain state of Utah.
