The Farmers Mercantile Company began January 29 1916 with 120 stockholders and seven directors as it evolved from a cooperative buying group to a multi department supply and livestock business in Red Oak and Stennett. Over fifty years it expanded into livestock, coal, grain, minerals, seeds, petroleum and warehousing, facing the Great Depression then growth spurts, with sales peaking near two and a half million dollars and about fifty employees.
