T. Frank McCall's
In 1876, T. Frank McCall's was a feed and grain concern owned by T. Frank McCall, his sons and later, his grandsons. The setting was rural, but industry began to take root and around 1890, Scott Paper opened a plant in the area. T. Frank McCall's was its first customer. In the 1890s, the company moved into janitorial supplies, which now make up 98 percent of the company's inventory. In 1957, Charles and Edmond Witomski bought the business from the third generation of McCall's. Today, the second generation of Witomskis, Lisa and Marcie Witomski, own and manage the business.
An interesting fact about the company: since it was founded, its headquarters have never moved. The original elevator and safe are right where they've always been, though the company's operations now take up an entire city block in Chester.
