History
|
Thomas & Howard Company, Inc. is a privately owned convenience distributor
headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina. With annual sales in excess
of $300 million, it operates two facilities in South Carolina providing
full-line, full-service distribution to convenience stores,
primarily located in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee.
Founded in Durham, North Carolina, the partnership of C. C. Thomas and
C. L. Howard was soon joined by J. E. Timberlake, who was responsible
for the growth of the company throughout the South. He was a man of
high moral principles from which he would not deviate, no matter how
tempting the reward was made to sound. His knowledge of the grocery
business and his attention to even the smallest details made him a man
admired by all. He believed in the dignity of work and in the golden
rule as the key to business as well as social relationships. The strong
foundation he gave the company has enabled it to survive and prosper
for more than 100 years. |
