Show OLD ESTABLISHMENT CEASES BUSINESS (Contributed) Friday, August 29, ledgers of the Citizen's Coal and Supply company, the third oldest business busi-ness institution of Bingham Canyon, Can-yon, only the Bingham Bulletin and Bingham Mercantile company com-pany were founded earlier, were closed for the final time. In 1905 two well-known business busi-ness men, Harry Brownlee and Charles Cottington, became partners part-ners in what soon became a thriving thri-ving business. After a few years Mr. Cottington sold his interest to A. T. Williams. In 1912 Archie Stuart became a third partner. Two years later Mr. Williams left the firm. In 1920 Mr. Stuart left the company and in April of the same year Art J. Soren-son Soren-son bought an interest. Mr. Brownlee and Mr. Soren-son Soren-son continued in their partnership partner-ship until 1940 when Mr. Soren-son Soren-son became sole owner following follow-ing Mr. Brownlee's death. The site of Citizen's Coal and Supply company at 40 Main street, recently purchased by the Utah Copper company, has undergone un-dergone many changes. At one time two large barns to care for 42 horses, sheds for 12 wagons and a number of sleighs, coal bins and a large ice house were needed by the company. Prior to prohibition the warehouses ware-houses held hundreds of barrels of beer and liquors. At one time from 12 to 15 men were employed employ-ed by the concern. r |
