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.

The Seneca Corners Cheese Factory was first started as a co-operative enterprise in 1917, with fourteen patrons, and with Carl Schuler in charge. At that time the largest run of milk was 2,700 pounds. In 1920 Otto Hiller bought the plant and is now conducting it. The milk receipts have increased to 8,000 pounds per day during the busy season, and the cheese manufactured amounts to 750 pounds per day. The whey cream product, with a value of about $100 per month, is sold to creameries. There are now 34 patrons.
