Photograph of the Featherman Mercantile in Drummond, Montana. Manuscript notation on the reverse identifying Featherman. John A. Featherman (1836-1924) arrived in New Chicago, Montana, a stage stop along the Mullan Military Road, on July 4, 1872. He opened a mercantile store in partnership with his nephew, James B. Featherman. After the establishment of Drummond along the route of the Northern Pacific Railroad in 1883, the Feathermans moved their store to the new town. They operated the store until 1915 when they sold the business to H. J. Faust and C. N. Bassett. J. B. Featherman was also the postmaster both at New Chicago and at Drummond.
