Ojj TIE HI SI AND FALL OF THE LOGAN CO-OPERATIVE MERCANTILE INSTITUTION, 1869-1872 By- Leonard J. Arrington MORMON COOPERATION, particularly Mormon merchantile cooperation, has been the object of considerable study by students of Utah's history, but little attention has been given to the functioning of such cooperation on the local level. Every history of Utah worthy of the name describes the decision of Brigham Young and other authorities of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in October, 1868, to establish a giant wholesale store in Salt Lake City (Zion's Co-operative Mercantile Institution) and a chain of locally-owned retail cooperatives in all Mormon settlements of the West. It is also well known that the Latter-day Saints voted "unanimously" to patronize these church-sponsored cooperatives. The retail cooperatives, in turn, were to patronize the wholesale institution in Salt Lake City. As the result of this program, Zion's Co-operative Mercantile Institution (popularly known as Z. C. M. I.) absorbed the business of leading Mormon merchants in Salt Lake City early in 1869 and became, almost immediately, the largest retailer and wholesaler of Leonard J.
