Historical Note
According to historic sources, "McCornick and Co. was founded by W. S. McCornick, who left his native Canada in 1858 to seek his fortune in the West. He moved to Salt Lake City in 1871, associated with A. W. White, who had established a small private bank in Salt Lake City, and bought out White's interest in 1875 to found what became the largest private bank in Utah. By 1900, deposits in McCornick and Co. exceeded $5 million. The firm was finally incorporated as McCornick & Co. in 1910, one of the leading stockholders being Daniel C. Jackling, 'father of Utah copper.' McCornick became president of a number of other banks, including the First National banks of Logan and Nephi. His Salt Lake bank was sold to Walker Brothers after his death in 1921."
