Show LETTER TO THE EDITOR Seeks Saloon Source Editor, News: To avoid an Important and colorful aspect of Utah History remaining burrled and being only superficially understood, I am researching the area of the Utah Frontier Saloon and Brewery. Utah supported a large number of colorful liquor and brewery businesses which played an important part In the early business growth of Utah. This Is an area of Utah History where there is little If any research being done according to my contacts with the Utah Historical Society (of which I am a member). Persons who would remember the last few years before Utah prohibition began (August 1, 1917) would now be in their seventies or eighties. Time Is growing short to get in touch with these people who have direct Information of this era. I have contacted people In the Salt Lake City-Ogden area but I have no way of getting in touch with persons in most parts of the state. I would love to hear from anyone with Information, photos, or items pertaining to this early saloon and brewery business of Utah from Utah's very early days until 1917. R.
