With a vision of this product having commercial and residential uses as a building stone, we built roads Into the area, purchased mining and quarrying equipment, and constructed numerous facilities to separate this material from its natural bed. Year by year technical advances were adapted to the problem at hand, involving (among other things) special drilling and blasting equipment and techniques, and the invention of a specialized crushing system to produce aggregates from waste materials. Distribution and sales efforts were devised so os to dispose of the entire production from the deposits. It was a great challenge and at this time we have mastered the mountain and now have a thriving business selling Turquoise Stone" building products throughout the nation and in Canada. blue-gree- n We have aligned our organization with reputable distributors who handle our products. Also, we have been instrumental in securing advantageous railroad freight rates, together with ICC contract carrier rights for the trucking of our products into areas of the nation best serviced by truckers. Our basic mineral rights are mining claims in good standing. The quarry properties which we operate have been opened In several areas, we are well equipped with machinery for production, and our reserves are tremendous. In fact, we have a monopoly on the turquoise color of our products throughout the world. The area In which we are located is a delightful spot, with excellent hunting, fishing and scenery. THIS RARE AND UNUSUAL BUSINESS IS FOR SALE Whenever a business is placed on the market the natural excuses ore readily for!, coming old age, other business Interests, illness, partnership dissolutions, etc. However, we have no such excuse, except that WE ARE FED Ui WITH HAVING GOVERNMENT SHOVE US AROUNDI We are fed up with having our state taxing officials value our equipment, over our objections at 30 of actual fair f the comparative market value (as against approximately fair market value on most other properties) and using the retail sales price paid for such equipment as fair market value for two consecutive years after its purchase, even though the equipment had by then seen much use and loss of value; we are fed up with state tax hearings where government employees give erroneous evidence; we are fed up with mine inspectors who disregard their own safety rules; we are fed up with state and federal investigators who make decisions involving factual issues relating to safety standards and the ages of employees who can work in different areas of our operations when the simplest mind can see that the basis for such rules are ridiculous; in general, we ara fed up with snoopers, auditors, tax assessors, and the general run of government employees and officials who In recent years have viewed our business as a fatled calf to produce revenue, to justify their jobs and to otherwise be the object of their annoying activines. al one-hal- busy-bod- y We cloim to be reasonobly intelligent human beings with ordinary human reactions. And we think that all forms of imposition finally reach the point where men rebel against them and find a new route to follow or means of escape. Such is the lesson of history. The great stone deposit which our group mastered and worked into this business laid on an open mountain face for 100 years without anyone accepting its challenge until we undertook the task. Now, interestingly enough, there has descended on us a veritable horde of government bosses who have the unusual ability of telling us how to run this business. We have had it; we want outl During the creative years of this venture the challenge itself was adequate compensation for the small portion of the gain we retained over and above what we plowed back into the business. But now we find that, with the challenge overcome, the future promises an intolerable situation for which money is a poor substitute. In short, the fun I gone. e It is difficult for us to believe that our State really wants new business. Our opinion is that a better public relations job ihould first be established with those businesses, like this one, which export our native talents and skills, products or natn-ra- l wonders. Without a surplus of exports over imports a notion, state or community con advance economically in rarely relation to its neighbors. This is one of the most basic principles of economics. Instead, we educate and send our best brains to other areas, and investigation will undoubtedly reveal a considerable number of businesses which are in the process of curtailing activities in this State with the intention of locating elsewhere because of the local business climate. we like to think it also means freight on board. And the freight on board one of our mile long freights usually includes a little bit of everything . . . from accordians to zithers. Fre on board? Yes-- but - leorned the basic lessons of economics here in Utah or else we don't want to apply them. We different," but the big difference eems to be that we are ever ready to seek much more from the than we contribute. Are we not thereby subjects of charity, dependent on our more federal grab-baproductive (and possibly more energetic) sister states And with the highest percentage of governmental employees in relation to the total work force of any area in the continental U.S. it does seem paradoxical that so many of them spend so much time controlling so few businesses with such adverse competitive obstacles as in the situation in Utah. Frankly, it is going to take a lot more Governor and a tew public and business leaders to than the efforts of our get us on the riqht track. It seems we haven't pride ourselves in being We hope your freight is on board one of our trains, if it is, we thank you for your confidence in calling us. We pledge you the finest g freight service, modern specialized equipment and locomotives to assure you careful handling and on time delivery. high-powere- hard-workin- g If - youre not a U.P. Shipper, give us the opportunity to be of service. Perhaps it may seem that the individuals owning this business are soreheads and crabbers and this just might be a sound observation. We are probobly much better adapted by disposition to conditions which existed in another era of our history. At any rate, we certainly don't intend to enlarge our production by future purchases of new machinery which with the knowledge that we would merely be the objects of would thereby create jobs taxes and confiscatory more regulation. Be that as it may, some concern or group of ind.viduals with different temperaments and a fondness for lots of government should see our operotions end properties so as to become awore of the excellent here made Whatever your product, we have the right kind of freight car to haul it auto cars, piggyback flat cars, tank cars, coal cars, in triple-declumber cars, grain cars, refrigerator cars, eveii just plain boxcars. - - k opportunity available. How do we keep track of them all? Dont worry about it we do.
