The Payson
Cooperative Mercantile and Manufacturing Institution was organized in
1869, writes L. Dee Stevenson of the Payson Historical Society in this week's column, "Pictures Tell The Payson Story." They were originally located in the Hancock Building, located
on the southeast corner of today’s Main Street and 100 North. In
1872 they had a new building erected at 11 South Main, just south of
the Payson Exchange Bank. The organization was
reorganized and T. H. Wilson was appointed manager. Twenty-six years
later in 1898 Mr. Wilson bought the business and it continued as T.
H. Wilson and Sons until about 1922. He then sold his stock to ZCMI
in Salt Lake City. His son, Stanley, served as manager for about
eighteen months.
