:''Goode Brothers redirects here. For Goode Brothers (Cecil, Milton and Malvern), pastoralists of Sheaoak Log and Terowie, South Australia see Thomas Goode (pastoralist)'' H. A. & W. Goode was one of the largest regional department stores in the early days of South Australia, with stores in Yankalilla, Aldinga, Willunga, then finally and most notably in Port Pirie. Its principals were three brothers, Henry Abel Goode, William Goode and Benjamin Powell Goode, all born at Kyre Magna, in Worcestershire, sons of farmer William Goode. The Goodes who emigrated from Kyre Magna (also called Kyre Wyard, and now just inside Herefordshire)〔http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=42897〕 were: Thomas Goode of Canowie Station, Henry Abel Goode, William and Benjamin Powell Goode on the ''Hope'' in 1858, Charles Rufus Goode (of Port Pirie) on the ''Princess Helena'' in 1860, and Matthew Goode (of Willunga) on the ''South Australian'' in 1868. Also on the ''South Australian'' were their sisters Ann and Elizabeth (ca.1837 – 28 May 1925) who married one Porter, had a daughter who married one David Herbertson. :Matthew Goode of Matthew Goode and Sons, Thomas Goode (1816–1882) of Goolwa, and Sir Charles Henry Goode were cousins. Matthew Goode married a Miss Jones before leaving England. She died, and Matthew married her sister Elisabeth Jones ( – 19 May 1902). Three other sisters married the three principals of H. A. and W. Goode: Frances (ca.1845 – 1 February 1930) married Benjamin Powell Goode on 19 June 1867; Emily G. Jones (October 1845 – 17 October 1932) married Henry Abel Goode on 19 August 1868 and Marion (ca.1853–1929) married William Goode. The Jones sisters were daughters of Edward Jones (ca.1792 – 29 January 1880) of Haywood, Herefordshire, later of Finniss Point, South Australia then Hutt Street, Adelaide. ==History== Three brothers, Thomas, Henry, and Benjamin arrived in South Australia in 1858, after a voyage of 122 days in the sailing vessel ''Hope''. William found employment in the wholesale and retail drapery business Goode Bros., on Rundle Street (where Charles Birks & Co. later stood), owned by his cousins Matthew and Charles Henry Goode. The wholesale business moved to Stephens Place, and later became Matthew Goode and Co. William and his brother Henry were with the firm for six years. On leaving his cousin's employ William and Henry bought general stores at Aldinga and Yankalilla, (licences granted in 1879) employing their brother Benjamin to manage for them at Yankalilla. Business boomed and Benjamin was admitted to the partnership. A second shop was bought in Aldinga, and one at Willunga, and the four establishments returned a profit.〔 In 1878 the partners bought out Brown, Wood, & Scrutton, who ran a small store in Port Pirie, and improved the business year by year until it assumed large proportions. In 1896 they sold the southern businesses and in 1905 the replacement two storey store, one of the architectural features of Ellen Street, was completed. The premises occupied a frontage of nearly 80 ft. by a depth of 95 ft. In 1909 they sold the business to Mrs. Robert Knox and William Miller, of Wilcannia, but it carried on as "H. A. & W. Goode" (later "Goode Brothers"), and was one of the largest concerns outside Adelaide.〔 In 1914 a limited liability company was formed to run the business, with Knox and Lance Goode as directors and W. E. Wainwright as Chairman. In 1916 the business again changed hands, with J. B. Johnston, H. W. Goode, and Mrs. Frances Goode as the new proprietors. Mrs. Goode died in 1930, and in 1932 the business was purchased by the family of H. A. Goode, with Lance Goode as managing partner. Its trading name reverted to the original "H. A. & W. Goode". In 1923 the store's magazine was forced open and some gelignite stolen. A subsequent attempt to blast open the strongroom failed, but the ensuing fire created a great deal of damage. No-one was ever charged with the offences. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「H. A. and W. Goode」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
