When the Mormonpioneers designed it, they really had in mind the word “industrious”toportray the industry and ambition of a pioneer people to whom work wasnever a stranger. When the seal was designed, agriculture was the main oceupation of the state,—with mining also a very important segment. Industry in the sense of manufacturing was a minor part of the state’s economy. This, however, is chenging—and today the central portion of the seal can truly symbolize industry in the modern sense of the word.

That's the way Fortune Magazine summed up the activities of General American Transportation Corporation It started in 1898 as a company which leased 28 mortgaged, second-hand refrigerator « cars. Since then the corporation has dramatically altered the nature and scopeofits opera» tions. It now owns and operatesthe world’s largest fleet of privately ownedrailroad freight “ cars... it manufactures process equipment which enjoys wide use in the food, chemical, * petroleum and other industries... it provides more than half-a-billion gallons of liquid storage facilities for iease .. . it designs conservation equipment te enable the petroleum : industry to cut costs markedly... it engineers new economical bulk-handling systems con= tributing to the delivery of food to the consumer's table in a more sanitary condition. . it = creates new methods of nickel plating, of processing cement, of molding plastics. The total s list ofits activities is impressivefor its length and diversity. An oil producer in Texas probably would describe General American as a builder and lessor of tank cars.

Every year an increasing number of companies are learning th t they can depend upon 3 General American's imagination at workto find productive solutions to their problems. 8 Custom Fabrication Seattle, Washington needed a 28,000,000 gallon water reservoir (a tank large enough to put the entire BYU football field in) a tall order to fill Generul American was commissioned to design and build it. Starting from scratch, the Engineering Department came up with the design. Blueprints were made here in our Orem, Utah, office for use in our Orem Plant for fabrication by our skilled craftsmen who use modern machines and the newest techniques for welding basic metals and alloys. The structure was site-erected at Seattle by General American Field Erection Division. Here at Orem, our businessis the design, fabrication and erection of products made of steel plate. We join forces to meet the ever growing needsofindustry and communities throughout the 11 Western States, Hawai and Alaska for water reservoirs, petroleum products storage tanks, dry storage bins and process vessels, GATX TATICN |
