The George Montgomery Scott collection consists of letter books containing copies of outgoing business correspondence of the George M. Scott Hardware Company, as well as personal correspondence. Scott served as Mayor of Salt Lake City from 1890-1892. He was unfortunate to be associated both in business and politics with James Glendinning, who was Vice President of George M. Scott Hardware Company and Salt Lake City Mayor (1896-1898). During his term of office, Glendinning embezzled a quantity of public money through a "contingency fund," and left office in the midst of a scandal. Though Scott seems to have been completely innocent, his reputation was compromised by association. Scott became involved in a mining venture at Marysvale, and a cattle business in Colorado, the Lily Park Stock Growers Association, the records of which are represented here.
