As we celebrate 100 years of Clyde Companies, we've spent some time digging through our archives and uncovering pieces of history that helped shape who we are today.
Long before smartphones, cloud storage, and digital project management, our teams relied on hand-drawn plans, punch cards, ledgers, and mechanical tools to build communities across the West. These artifacts offer a glimpse into the people, projects, and ingenuity that have carried us through a century of work.
Here are a few treasures we discovered:
**Page, Arizona Plan Drawing (1956)**
A planning document used to determine the layout of the newly established city of Page, Arizona. W.W. Clyde & Co. served as the contractor on the project, helping bring a community from blueprint to reality.
**Accounts Payable Ledger (1942–1943)**
This handwritten ledger tracked expenses for a joint venture between W.W. Clyde & Co. and fellow Springville contractors, the Whitings and Mendenhalls. Every line recorded by hand, reflecting a time when business was managed one entry at a time.
**Geneva Rock Corporate Seal (1954)**
Used to authenticate official company documents, this seal represented the trust and credibility behind Geneva Rock's growing reputation throughout Utah.
**Job Cost Punch Cards**
Before spreadsheets and project management software, punch cards stored critical job information and were used to transfer data into early computer systems. An early example of how our teams embraced technology to improve operations.
**Utah Service Apron (1980s)**
Worn by employees of Utah Service, a predecessor to Sunpro and Suncore. This apron likely belonged to a team member working at the fuel station near what is now Sunpro's Springville location, serving customers and supporting local industry.
**Telephone Index Machine (1950s)**
Before digital contact lists, W.W. Clyde organized business relationships with this alphabetical telephone index machine, keeping important connections just a turn of the dial away.
Every artifact tells a story. Together, they remind us that our legacy isn't just built on projects—it's built on the people, ideas, and innovations that have powered the last 100 years.
