COLUMBIA RIVER MERCANTILE COMPANY- LONGVIEW WASHINGTON

Longview was built as a planned community in the 1920s by the Long-Bell Lumber company. The company opened a department store called the Columbia River Mercantile at the southwest corner of Broadway and Commerce in 1923. Locals called the store The Merk.

By the 1930s national chains including JC Penney, Montgomery Ward, and Sears had also opened stores in downtown Longview. The Long-Bell Lumber company was purchased by International Paper in the 1950s. It may have been around this time that The Bon Marche expanded into Longview by purchasing The Merk.
