How It Began
ยน"Will's father, William Henry McCarty, was a groceryman, who operated a plantation store at Rising Sun, on the banks of the Yazoo River." He later opened a store in Jackson, Mississippi known as Jackson Mercantile Co. The original store on McTyere Street in Jackson was a converted barn. William Henry McCarty died in 1910 and two cousins of his, Judson McCarty Holman and William Henry Holman purchased the grocery from the estate. Will soon joined the partnership in 1912 after finishing law school at the University of Mississippi.
