David May (1848-1927) was an American businessman and founder of the May Company department store.
==Early life and education==
David May was born to a Jewish family in Kaiserlautern, Bavaria, Germany.〔(Jewish Museum of the American West: "David May, Pioneer Jewish Merchant, Founder of May Company & His Family" ) retrieved March 14, 2015〕 In 1854, he immigrated with his family to the United States settling in Cincinnati where he graduated from business school. After moving for health reasons to Leadville, Colorado, then undergoing a boom due to silver mining, he partnered with future brother-in-law Moses Shoenberg and opened a dry goods store in 1877. In 1887, he purchased another store in Denver, Colorado partnering with brother-in-laws Joseph and Louis Shoenberg〔 (the Shoenbergs would later change their name to Beaumont).〔(Leadville Colorado History: "Commodore Louis D. Shoenberg (Beaumont)" ) retrieved March 14, 2015〕 In 1888, he sold the Leadville store to Meyers Harris. In 1892, he expanded out of Colorado and purchased the "The Famous Clothing Store" in St. Louis, Missouri and in 1898, he purchased another store in Cleveland, Ohio which he renamed the "May Company." In 1905, he moved the business headquarters to St. Louis. In 1910, the business was incorporated as "The May Department Stores Company" and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange in 1911. Also in 1911, he bought the William Bar Dry Goods Company in St. Louis and merged it with The Famous Clothing Store renaming the new entity, Famous-Barr. He continued to expand purchasing the M. O’Neil Department Store in Akron, Ohio in 1912 and A. Hamburger & Sons in Los Angeles in 1923.〔
