[Logan, UT]: Zion's Cooperative Mercantile Institution, 1896. Single leaf [20 cm x 13 cm] Printed in blue ink. Manuscript note and order on reverse. Rare price list produced for the Logan, Utah, Zions Cooperative Mercantile Institution, known as Z.C.M.I., or the 'People's Store,' is what one historian called America's first department store. Founded in 1868 by Brigham Young to combat the inevitable change that the railroad and outsiders would bring to his Great Basin Kingdom. Although never truly a cooperative, it was hugely successful for 125 plus years and a retail giant in the Interior West.
