Dallas Green Inc

Farm and Home Supply Retail Company with stores located in West Haven, Hooper, and Clearfield Utah Using his wife’s paycheck from sewing on 2nd Street, in 1954 Dallas purchased a welder for $150.00. Dallas Green Manufacture and Repair got underway building hay loaders. With the purchase of a semi load of used pipe Dallas added swing sets to his product line. About two years after the welder purchase Dallas expanded his business into a tractor dealership for Minneapolis Moline. However, this venture was short-lived as shortly thereafter Minneapolis Moline went bankrupt. In 1959, the company joined the Utah Co-op and began selling gasoline. By 1964 a tire shop had been added to the growing business. Layton Farm Supply was opened in 1972 to meet the needs of a growing customer base. UDOT’s Front Runner project forced a relocation of the Layton store and a new retail store was opened in Clearfield under the name Dallas Green Farm and Home. Dallas loved the free enterprise system. He believed that if businesses were left unregulated, everyone would receive their just reward. Those who gave the best service would have the most business. Those who treated their customers unfairly would go out of business. According to Dallas’s wife, Charlene, he would never pass a lemonade stand. Without fail, Dallas would stop, buy two glasses of lemonade, and always left a tip.
