Vernal, Utah - Bricks by Mail

Also in the Vernal area, a site of odd historical interest, and one that you may have driven past without realizing what an historical gem you were missing, is the Zions bank building in the center of town. At the time it was built, there was a dispute of some kind with the freighting companies in the area. To get around that, someone discovered that the post office would not charge nearly so much as the freighters for the same package, so all the bricks for the building were MAILED to Vernal. It was too late for the PO to do anything about it once it caught on, but they did make a regulation that one person cannot send over 50 (?) pounds of mail in one day. [Ted Steinhorst, 01/21/1998]
