For many years it used the slogan, “America’s First Department Store”. Due to the impending completion of the railroad, and to create fairer business conditions, Young’s decided to encourage Mormon businesses to band together under one roof to pool their resources and make larger orders to sell materials and goods exclusively (at the time) to fellow LDS Church members.
