Eldon, this may be coming too late for you, but if you see it, try the 20th Ward chapel in the Avenues — 2nd Ave. at F Street. Breakfast starts at 7:00, and it’s best to be there as close to 7:00 as you can.

I don’t know, Tod. Like all the colored covers from that era, this appears to have been purchased stock from a supplier (in this case, The Knapp Co., Inc., whoever they were). The church couldn’t have printed it locally in Salt Lake; they didn’t have the color printing facilities yet. So whether this is by some famous artist or some unknown in-house illustrator, your guess is as good as mine.

That’s a wonderful painting. Who’s the artist Ardis?
