Wide scale exploitation followed the opening of the Keelung-Suao railway in 1923. With the completion of the Suao-Hualien highway in 1931 the market expanded to Taipei. The industry collapsed during the last years of World War Two. The KMT government supported the redevelopment of the Taiwanese marble industry with the <a href="/wiki/Vocational_Assistance_Commission_for_Retired_Servicemen" class="mw-redirect" title="Vocational Assistance Commission for Retired Servicemen">Vocational Assistance Commission for Retired Servicemen</a> establishing both quarries and workshops for unemployed military retirees. Finished product exports in early years relied on low local wages to be competitive in the international market, in the 1960s an Italian marble ashtray cost $30 on the American market, a comparable Taiwanese product would cost $4 in America and $2 in Taiwan.
