The Bountiful Lumber and Building Association, incorporated four years before Utah statehood was granted, is one of the oldest retail businesses in continual operation since partners Levi S. Heywood and Heber A. Holbrook first opened for business in about 1890. Handling lumber from the Moss Sawmill at the head of Bear River, they sold from a 24 ft. by 24 ft. building on one-half acre of ground just west of the present yard. Two years later, the business was moved across the street to where the Mountain Bell building now stands. The building now in use was constructed under the direction of manager Jed Stringham in 1919. Thomas L. Fisher purchased the business in 1925, and in 1927 it was incorporated under the name of Bountiful Lumber and Supply.
