Author: See Below JOHN PALM, the junior member of the firm of Cairncross & Palm, of Litchfield, is a native of Sweden, born on October 1, 1860. He remained in Sweden until 1870, when he came to America with his father’s family, the father having the year before settled at Litchfield. John Palm remained with his parents until thirteen or fourteen years of age, when he began to work as a painter, and followed that four summers, attending school during the winter months. In 1878 he entered the store of Cairncross & Johnson as clerk and remained with Mr. Cairncross after that gentleman had bought out his partner, and finally on the 1st of January, 1885, Mr. Palm was admitted to partnership, and the firm became Cairncross & Palm. Mr. Palm is a shrewd and careful business man, and his manner of conducting the affairs of the firm have deservedly won them an extensive trade.
