Guthries bicycle shop has been around awhile and exists today as a HQ cycle shop. It seems the Mormons were bicycle crazed in the early 1900's. Your badge must be related. They sold Both Iver Johnson and Brooks brands....(edit: @barnyguey as well as Schwinn in the larger building 1920's)

Cool! I found that one very interesting when I saw it for sale. It looks like a decal.
