1894 - This is a very unique and possibly the only surviving bark covered half pint pocket flask in the West. The paper label reads, "COMPLIMENTS THE UTAH LIQUOR CO. SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH." In the center of the label is an angel illustration. It is a screw top, with the metal top still in place.

One of the most prolific of the Utah liquors firms was the Utah Liquor Company. This firm is first noted in the 1894 Salt Lake City Directory. The initial establishment was at 167 South Main Street, a locale it kept through 1902. In 1903 it moved to 223 South Main Street with a branch at 26 West Third South. The branch is not noted in subsequent years, but the Utah Liquor Company remains at the 223 South Main Street location until the advent of Prohibition.
