History
J. Joslins Dry Goods later converted to a department store in the 1930s and was purchased by Mercantile Stores, a Fairfield, Ohio-based department store conglomerate. Mercantile Stores retained the Joslin's name, operating until 1998 when the purchase of Mercantile Stores and the conversion to the Dillard's store brand were completed.
