A native of Scotland, Alexander Garrick arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1878. He was employed by a railroad company for eleven years before starting a business.
In 1889, Alexander Garrick and Samuel Holmes created Garrick & Holmes Boiler Works. Their advertisements guaranteed "Reasonable Prices and Good Work."
The building advertises "Samuel Holmes" rather than "Garrick & Holmes" because this picture was taken sometime after Garrick's death in 1893.
