Comments:

This photo of John in his tailor shop was on the cover of the Utah Historical Quarterly, Summer 2002, Volume 70, Number 3.

1905 photo of Tailor John P. Wright at work in his shop on State Street in Murray (the actual location is 2961 State Street - the site of today's Murray Theatre, now owned by the Unity Church). Wright exemplifies the small business owners who received electricity through the Progress Company. Note the fuse box and meter mounted above the window, the suspended incandescent lamp, and the electric pressing iron. He retained his foot-treadle sewing machine, however." Original photo in possession of Barbara Camp.
