Abstract
George McMorran was a very successful businessman, from the
beginning of his partnership with Carl Washburne in 1910 until
McMorran sold his shares to Washburne in 1937. They started in the
dry goods industry working from a single small room. Within a year of
opening, McMorran and Washburne became one of the most popular
stores in Eugene. In 1921 they relocated to the Tiffany Building (then
known as the Cockerline and Weatherbee building) on the northeast
corner of 8th Avenue and Willamette Street. This building is still intact
and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
