That was then (1953)
From chapter 64:
The main street of Roosevelt presents the pattern of the far-western small town, with certain adaptations because of its complete dependence on the highway.
Founded in 1908 and named for the out-going president, Roosevelt was originally a trading-center for scantily inhabited ranching country. It now largely subsists from highway-income, being the best place between Vernal, 27 miles to the east, and Heber, 99 miles to the west, at which to find decent lodging for the night, or eat a meal, or buy a new tire, or have a little garage-work done, or amuse yourself by an evening at the movies.
This is now.
