After an arduous journey to Utah's Mormon frontier, three Jewish
immigrant brothers built a flagship institution that lasted more than a
century in downtown Salt Lake City. The F. Auerbach & Bros. story is one
of personal challenges, Prussian folktales, perilous sea voyages, Wild
West tenacity and those elegant and sophisticated fashions found on the
second floor. Built along railroad tracks and dressing boomtown Ladies
of Aristocracy in finery, Auerbach's tent stores evolved into one of the
finest retailers in state history, providing something for everyone
under one roof. Award-winning author and former Salt Lake Tribune
columnist Eileen Hallet Stone brings to life the magical moments of the
shopping dynasty that lasted until 1979.
