J. and brother Abe Inherited much of the pithy philosophy of Rose, a strong - willed Latvian Immigrant. n CURRENTLY, Independent is producing only 3,000 tons of Business Portrait I. J. Wagner . . . Simply Common Sense The story really begins In Latvia Rose Yuddin was a girl of 18 No one told her what to think or do. Once she was jailed for criticizing the Czar. SHE IMMIGRATED TO Boston, there met and married Harry Wagner. Boston was too crowded for the Wagners. They headed west first to Portland, then to Salt Lake City. Harry rented a wagon and went Into the express business. One day he picked up a bunch of burlap bags from a groceryman. He sold them to a junk yard. Rose asked him where the junk yard sold them. Harry went back to the junk yard, watched the dealer sell the bags at a profit to a seed company. There was no reason, argued Rose, that the junk yard I should get profit for handling the bags. Why not sell the next batch of bags to the seed store directly? BUT HARRY FOUND OUT that the seed store was selling the bags to the flour mill. He sold his next batch of bags to the flour mill directly and made even more on the exchange. And so the Wagner Bag Co was born I. J. (Izzij Wagner, Roses second son, was bom in 1915. Hes president of the fnm, now doing a three to dollar business annually. Rose died two years ago at the age of 86 The flesh is gone, but the spirit lingers on. "Always be aware of opportunity, Rose drummed at I J and his older brother Abe. They never forget her advice ABE AND ROSE, SHORT of work hands, had done a masterful-joof keeping the business going during the war years. Now with I. J. back on the job, the Wagners expanded. In 1951 Wagner Bag Co. began the manufacture of its own products. By 1958, Wagner Bag Co. was a multimillion-dolla- r firm. The Wagners mulled a merger with St. Regis Paper Co. The prospect seemed good. Finance for expansion was tough to get alone. Alliance with St. Regis would provide capital leverage for growth. I. J. figured another angle: If any of the principals in Wagner Bag got sick or died, the business could fold. But if the firm allied with St. Regis, death would not be calamitous. The business would go on. AND SO THE MERGER was accomplished. I. J. became president of Wagner Bag Co , division of St. Regis Paper Co. Abe was named vice president. Prior to the merger, Wagner had started construction t of a plant at 2357 S. 8th West. It was the genesis of Wagner Industrial Park, now a growing industrial complex. As for making money, I. J. is more than content with hispresent status ("If somebody gave me five million dollars, I wouldnt be one bit more happier now than I am ) He and Ilene still rent a old house that they have lived in since 1950. Daily he drives to work in a small, foieignmade convertible (Keeping up with the Jonses doesnt feed me) I J's art is enterprises involving growth and .("It s easier to swing a mtllion-dolla- r deal than to borrow a hundred bucks") I activities don't end with Wagner Bag Co.

Coal from Clear Creek, managed by Stanley Harvey, is delivered by Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad Co., to Castle Gate tipple while regular mine cars owned by Independent and operating over an electrical trolley sys tem, bring coal to the tipple from Castle Gate and Kenil worth. CARBON the COUNTY, heart of the coal producing area in Utah, is classed by the government as a distressed area. Coal has been hard hit by competing fuels, particularly natural gas which at dump rates at cost or below, has taken millions of tons of business away from the mines "Because of the power plants, the eneigetic staff, the skill and excellent cooperation of the United Mine Workers of America, Independent has managed to make some earnings. The new developments at the mines were effected as an absolute necessity in reduction of costs so we could stay in business," he said. Will manage Hotel Utah banquets.
