That history of the bank of Vernal was fascinating, thank you for sharing. Parcel post offered for packages of up to 50 pounds + price charged to post parcels from Salt Lake City to Vernal being less than half the cost charged by private carriers ==> lots of freight to Vernal starts getting sent by post! Then, bank director wanting pressed bricks for the front the new bank building in Vernal + closest pressed brick manufacturer to Vernal being in Salt Lake City + post still the cheapest freight option to Vernal ==> 37.5 tons of pressed bricks packed into 50 pound crates and posted! Anyone interested in the history of freight & trade may also enjoy reading Marc Levinson's book "The Box" about the shipping container. https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9780691170817/the-box https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9780691170817/th...
