The Morey Mercantile Company Collection (1844-1955) contains company correspondence, invoices, photographs, employee information and catalogs. A partial scrapbook containing information on the company and its second president John W. Morey is also found in the collection. The Morey Mercantile Company, originally known as the C.S. Morey Mercantile Company, was founded by Chester S. Morey in 1884 and grew to be one of the largest wholesale grocers in Colorado. The company served many of the largest retailers in the state and sold many items including coffee, cigars, canned goods, appliances, and cutlery. John W. Morey sold the company in 1956.

This collection is of mixed provenance. Items were donated in 1961 and 1964 by Mrs. John Ferguson, Jr. (Katherine Laura Morey Ferguson), daughter of John W. Morey, and William Myatt, a long-time employee of the Morey Mercantile Company.

The Morey Mercantile Company Collection is part of a larger donation of material. After reviewing documentation found it is likely that William Myatt met with individuals for his 1961 Colorado Magazine article, The Morey Mercantile Company: The Home of Solitaire and that resulted in donations of artifacts and archival material made by Katherine Ferguson, Myatt, and a hand-colored picture of "Morey's Cabinet" donated by John Rogers. See accessions H.6444 and H.6465. Please contact Research Center staff for more information.See also: 2012.50
