Show Cache Building Trades Have Grown To A High Point Its a lung jump from the eat then dugout or log cabin of the Cache pioneer to the carefully-planneand at- tractive new homes which are spiinging up in many sections of the valley today. Behind this transition is a story of steady growth in the many skills and facilities needed for all types ono-roo- d jf of building. The history of Cache Valley fiont the standpoint of develop' ' , I of the building tiades shows a steady mciease in local facilities for manufacturing, process- ing and distributing matenais needed for construction. This growth has continued to the point where today the valley can boost ll of at least two latge-scal- e o cl aliens, a bilck kiln; laige sand and gravel and ready-mi- x conor e lompanies; planing null, and cabi. specialty funis, stone operations for preparing the native rock which recently hv come back into favrr; building specialty firms; and num-eioretail outlets to supply all necessary hardware and accessoiv items need in the building tiades Many Firms The aiea is also foitunate in having a number of efficient and thoroughly reliable contt acting and building firms which have had wide experience in all types of consti uction, whether highway, bridge, or private or large commercial building - A number of these have successfully handled very large contracts in all paits of the intermountain aiea. Also Important to the total building picture ate the numeious fums which are equipped to handle conti acts for plumbing, electric wiring, brick and rock work, and painting and decorating, whether on the private residence building or on a large job.

The history of every community in the valley tells of the arduous task of cutting timber and hauling the logs out of the canyons, an operation which continued as long as the weather permitted. These logs were the first-use- d building material.
