Southern Mercantile, Inc. was originally the name of a small general store owned by my great-grandfather and great-granduncle,
Herbert O'Neil and Leslie A. Jones in Salley, S.C. around 1914.

    The name has flowed through our family over the years, in and out of businesses,
from my sister's lemonade stand, to my father's booth of iron sculpture,
and even to my grandmother's kitchen, but never did it land.

-- Until,...

    Shortly before graduating high school, my grandfather, Joe, and I decided it was time to revive the family business spirit once and for all. Between the two of us, we developed our vision into a small business specializing in serving others .
    Thus, Southern Mercantile was born (or should I say, "re-born")!

Through your help and interest, we continue to grow.
