Photographs of the building located at 308 North 4th Street.
Tootle-Campbell Dry Goods Company was founded in 1849 by Milton Tootle, Sr., to supply gold rush prospectors.

A new fireproof building was built in 1908 (308-324 North Fourth Street) and was designed for maximum efficiency and speedy handling of orders. In addition to the jobbing business, the Tootle-Campbell Company operated a large factory two blocks south where 250 people were employed in the manufacture of men's work clothing.
