The Thompson Hiles company sold
its stock of goods yesterday to Bass &

This will be in the nature of a sur
prise to the public.
The business of the Thompson Hiles
company on the 'books will be wound
up by them. Only the stock of goods
was purchased by Bass & Heard. The
details of the trade were not made
public, but it is understood that they
were satisfactory to all parties inter
ested.
The Thompson Hiles Company,
wholesale dry goods, notions, shoes,
hats, etc., was organized in 1889, by
Capt. Thompson Hiles, and from that
day down to the present its growth
has been 'constant keeping step
with the rapid growth and progress of
Rome, and the development of the
surrounding territory.
Its success has been the just re
ward of honest dealings, strict busi
ness methods and uniform courtesy to
customers. This house was solidly
entreqched in the esteem and confi
dence of the business world.
The travelling men covered the en
tire territory within a hundred miles
of Rome.
The personnel of the firm constitu
ted some of the most prominent .and
wealthiest citizens of this section.
Among them were Thompson Hiles,
president; John H. Reynolds, presi
dent of First National Bank; O.
H. McWilliams, John S. Uleghorn.
P. H. Hardin, A. S. Hamilton, W. W.
Hiles, and W. W. Berry.
Capt. Hiles has made this change in
order to take a much needed rest. He
has been actively engaged in business
of large interests and an exacting na
ture for more than a quarter of a cen
tury. He is one of the most popular
men in North Georgia, a man of ster
ling business integrity and it will be a
source of pleasure to his many friends
to learn that he will continue to make
Rome his home.
Bass & Heard in purchasing this
business and consolidating it with
their present big wholesale house as
sures Rome of the continuation of a
large and progressive wholesale
dry goods establishment where the
merchants of this section can find a
mammoth stock of dry goods, notions,
boots, shoes, bats etc.
That the firm of Bass & Heard will
meet with success goes without saying.
Both members -of the firm are business
men of wide experience, and understand
how to make a sucess of everything they
undertake.
Cap*. J. L. Bass, for the past ten or
twelve years, has been one of Rome’s
most prominent and enterprising citizens.
He has extensive business interests here
and elsewhere. His success has been
phenomenal and shows his extraordinary
business sagacity and ability.
Mr. E. A. Heard is a well-known and

has been cashier of the Merchants’ Na
tional bank. He is a splendid business
man, exact in details and comprehensive
in his management of affairs. He has
boundless energy, and the commercial
talent that always makes a success.
It goes without saying that these gen
tlemen will command the confidence of
the trading public, and reTiiW the good
will and patronage, through their liberal
methods, of the merchants of this entire
section. The Tribune bespeaks for them
a success that comes only to those merit -
ing it.
