so evidently an integral part of the
progress which this jubilee is meant to
Celebrate, that no other apologies are
needed for the sketches of its growth
and development which is presented
herewith.
The firm was organized in the fan of
1888 when Mr.. George 7. OdeH. the
present general manager, moved from
Bulhonville, New, 10 Salt Lake City,
and associated himself in business with
Messrs. Heber j. and J. F. Grant, I'M

Co. It's first purchase of farm i'm
plements give il the reputation of
being the Leading Implement Deal
ers," of the west, a distinction which it
has maintained ever since.
During the year 1885 the capital stock
was twice increased. and branch houses
were established in various parts of
Utah and idaho. and today the firm has
a working capital of over quarter of
a million dollars. What is still more
gratifying, its business methods have
been such as 10 make its name house

The company's business, so Mr.. Odell
informed the reporter, is unusually
prosperous at present. A recent acqui-
sition of exceedingly valuable agencies
for which the company is indebted
in a measure TO Mr.. George A. Lowe
has swelled the volume of its business
that the firm now employs, in the home
institution and its branches, a total
of over 100 men. A list of manufactur-
ers that intrust their products to the
Coop Wagon & Machine Co. is the
strongest possible commentator of its
business standing. Among these are
