The McCain-Johnson Co., operating one of the largest department stores in Marshfield, is composed of Harry McCain and Wilbur M. Johnson. The store building, a substantial brick structure, two stories high, is located at the corner of the South Central Avenue and West Second Street, and is one of the best in the city. The business was established by Rose Brothers about 1898, and was taken over by the present concern in May, 1921. It comprises various departments, including clothing, trunks, bags, rugs, linoleum and others. The following are brief sketches of the two proprietors.
