1920s William J. Moyer, shown near a Christmas display in the Fair Store, became the leading citizen of Grand Junction. The Fair Store opened in 1890 and was the largest department store in Western Colorado. His other major investments included the Grand Valley National Bank. Mr. and Mrs. Moyer were generous with their wealth. They financed young people through college and donated the city�s first public swimming pool, the Moyer Natatorium. Unfortunately, the Great Depression of the 1930s brought financial ruin to the Moyer enterprises. |
