THE HISTORY OF THE TANNER FAMILY

This is from an Ensign article from 1979 where they actually used the term "sister wives" when talking about the polygamous relationships that several of the Tanners were involved in:

I was excited to find references to Annie Tanner and Oberlin C Tanner.  When I was interviewing at the OC Tanner Co in SLC, I remember taking a tour of the production floor on the second formal interview (I was a finalist with one other candidate for a Process Engineer position) and we were taken to the formal dining room.  I remember it was circular and had a retractable roof.  On the grounds, there were many fountains - something that OC Tanner enjoyed providing for people.  He really took care of his employees - and that was probably one reason his company is still around after all these years.

They took over the Hansen Planetarium and have retrofitted it for their Flagship store in downtown SLC.  If I remember right, my wife and I went on a mega-date to the planetarium and we first held hands in the back of the car on the way back home to BYU.
