The "cooperatives" were retail stores which were to be cooperatively owned by the Mormon people and from which they were to buy all their supplies. The co-op was in reality a joint-stock company, and it gradually became a corporation run just like other corporations. In 1902, the Logan Cooperative Mercantile Institution sold the building to the second bank in Logan, First National Bank, who is the present owner. |
