Zion's Co-operative Mercantile Institution was an American department store chain. It was founded on October 9, 1868 by Brigham Young. 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. Franklin Dewey Richards (April 2, 1821 – December 9, 1899) was a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from 1849 until his death. He served as the quorum's president from 1898 until his death. He was the nephew of apostle Willard Richards, one of two men who survived the mob attack at Carthage Jail that took the life of LDS Church founder, Joseph Smith. Brigham Young, (June 1, 1801 – August 29, 1877) was an American religious leader, politician, and settler. He was the second president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from 1847 until his death in 1877. He founded Salt Lake City and he served as the first governor of the Utah Territory. Young also led the founding of the precursors to the University of Utah and Brigham Young University.
