John William Stacey (d. 1943) , while working in the Book Department at San Francisco's Emporium Department Store in the early 1920s, encountered a physician while on a hike who encouraged him to becoming a purveyor of medical books. With the backing of 46 other physicians, Stacey opened a small store focused on medical treatises in the Flood Building in 1923. Stacey enjoyed steady success, but died in 1943. Just after World War II, subsequent owners found a bigger space in a building at 551 Market Street, and moved from the Flood Building by 04/1947. The bookstore continued to thrive between 1945-1970, and six branches opened throughout CA. The Standard Oil Company of CA bought 551 Market Street in the late 1950s and made plans to build a new headquarters skyscraper here. Stacey's was forced to find new quarters, which it did nearby at 581 Market Street in 1959.
