Lot 5753: Utah Scipio Co-Operative Mercantile Institution 50c

ZCMI became a formidable business force, eventually manufacturing its own line of boots and shoes, and a line of work clothes. It also sold everything from housing needs, lumber, nails, and the like, to household needs such as fabric, needles, thread, food preservation products, furniture, and draperies, even some beauty products; nearly everything the pioneers needed to survive and thrive.

The LDS Church was a significant influence in the company, retaining a majority interest in ZCMI until its eventual sale.
