Biographical Note

In 1892, P.E. Northern and Company opened a general merchandise store in Marianna (Lee County), Arkansas. One of the employees was W.S. McClintock. Soon after that, R.L. Mixon bought out P.E. Northern and the business became known as Mixon and McClintock. In 1923, W.S. McClintock bought out Mixon and a partnership was formed with his sons, Robert S., William E., and Oliver W. The business became McClintock and Sons Company which went out of business in 1962. Between 1892 and 1962, the P.E. Northern Company and the McClintock and Sons Company sold Oliver-Case farm implements, groceries, general merchandise, and household appliances. W.S. McClintock and Sons Company also sold real estate in Marianna and Lee County.
