They accomplished this seemingly impossible goal because they possessed the strength of resourcefulness. Resourcefulness enabled the pioneers to overcome the obstacles they faced during the early days. It inspired their descendants to continue to convert land g most settlers did not want into a great and empire. It created a tradition of solving new problems as they appeared. The same pioneer tradition has been a vital factor in the business growth of Utah. For example, copper production began with a mountain of low grade ore most mining men did not want. It, too, was developed by resourcefulness the introduction of a new concept of mining copper. And through the years mining has been able to expand as a productive part of our states economy because of resourcefulness in solving new problems. The pioneers who first settled this area did more than establish a new community. They also established the tradition of resourcefulness that is still a vital force in Utah today. It is a key' to the continuing growth of Utah and its businesses. ever-growin- Utah Capper Division Senneeott Copper Build Corporation u Bettor Utah A Good Neighbor Helping to |
