May Company Ohio was an American department store chain that was headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio. It originated with the purchase and renaming of the E. R. Hull & Dutton Co. by David May in 1899, and expanded with his majority ownership of William Taylor Son & Co. in 1939 and suburban growth in the 1950s. The May Department Stores Company merged O'Neil's into May Company Ohio in 1989, and May Company Ohio itself was merged into, and converted to, Kaufmann's in 1993.
