A 1913 business description of Layton:
“Layton has business blocks that would be a credit to a much larger and more populous community, a fine new depot just completed by the Ogden Short Line railway and a neat little depot building is nearing completion on the electric line. There are four stores handling implements and vehicles, three general stores, one drug store, a national bank, butcher shop, two restaurants, flourishing shops, pool hall, paint and wall paper house, coal yards, lumber yard and blacksmith shop.”
(From the Weekly Reflex newspaper, Dec. 26, 1912.)
Layton Drug Store, 11 South Main Street, opened in 1910.
