Burton Mercantile Company's Growth in Star Valley
The article traces the Burton family store from a tent in 1886 through a log cabin, frame, and brick buildings to a 1916 headquarters. Reorganized in 1908 as Burton Mercantile Company, it became Star Valley’s largest home goods department store offering groceries, dry goods, shoes, hardware, furnishings, farm tools, and more, with manager A. P. Burton as a local booster.
