Are you hesitant to buy that prized item you found in the Hogan because you can’t take<br />
it back home with you? Not to worry – the Hogan Trading Company can ship any item<br />
anywhere in the world.<br />
So find the wind sculptures along Main Street and come in and see us. You will<br />
be amazed.<br />
On a windy day in downtown <strong>Moab</strong> – and that’s many days in Spring-time – it’s hard<br />
to miss the Hogan Trading Company. It’s the tan adobe-style building with all the metal<br />
wind sculptures along its sides, and they’re quite a sight when spinning busily in the breeze.<br />
Owned and operated since 1989 by Vern Erb, the Hogan Trading Company has been at<br />
its present location at 100 South and Main Street since 1994. The wind sculptures outside,<br />
designed and built by Utah’s Lyman Whitaker, really draw the eye. But don’t get the idea<br />
that they’re all the Hogan has to offer. Upon stepping into the store, many people are heard<br />
to exclaim about the beauty and diversity of items that are on display. The friendly staff is<br />
available to help and guide customers to find just the right things to complement their visit<br />
to <strong>Moab</strong>, but without any big sales pitches or pressure.<br />
Vern makes personal trips every year to purchase jewelry, art, and many other items of<br />
fine workmanship from both native and non-native craftsmen in the Four Corners region.<br />
All of these are brought back and then attractively displayed throughout the three levels of<br />
the store. Here’s just a sampling of the things you’ll find inside Hogan Trading Company,<br />
most with a Southwestern theme, but altogether something for everyone:<br />
• Jewelry: finest Native American jewelry in a wide price range to fit anyone’s budget.<br />
• Metal art: objects created from copper, brass, stainless steel, and combinations of<br />
metals. Part of one large wall is covered with various-sized metal plates.<br />
