HistoryThomas Good (c. 1822 – 21 January 1889) of Birmingham left England for South Australia in the John Mitchell with (later Sir) Charles Goode ( – 5 February 1922), arriving in Adelaide in April 1849.[1] Together they travelled the State by horse and cart hawking softgoods, and were successful enough to start a small drapery business in Kermode Street, North Adelaide. They each married a sister of the other. In 1850 John Good & Co. began trading as drapers in Rundle Street, Adelaide, opposite Berry's China Warehouse.[2] In January 1853 he opened a general store[3] opposite Low's Inn, Mount Barker, followed by a grain store[4] which in 1864 he sold to William Barker, previously a partner of Sidney George Wilcox's brothers Joseph and Emery in Gawler. In 1872 Good and Samuel Toms founded the wholesale firm of Good, Toms & Co.[5] on King William Street, later office on Wyatt Street and a warehouse at 22 Stephens Place. The business ceased trading in the early 1930s.[6] In 1932 the warehouse was purchased by Charles Birks & Co and around 1934 incorporated into their adjacent retail establishment.[7] Good's business partner Samuel Toms (c. 1842 – 27 January 1907) may have been educated at J. L. Young's Adelaide Educational Institution.[8] He worked at Goode Brothers' warehouse before joining with Thomas Good as Good, Toms & Co. Three of his sons were involved in the business. Toms was closely associated with the (Anglican) Trinity Church and was a keen cricketer, serving as umpire at many important games held at the Adelaide Oval.[9] A third partner was William Kent, who managed the London office. FamilyThomas Good (c. 1822 – 21 January 1889) married Mary Ann Goode (c. 1822 – 21 July 1895) in 1850. She was a sister of emigrants Charles H. Goode, Matthew Goode (of Matthew Goode and Co.), Samuel Goode, jun., and Elizabeth Ann Goode.
Good's sister Mary Harriet Good (c. 1830 – 18 August 1889) married his partner (later Sir) Charles Goode on 6 August 1856.[13] She was an invalid for much of her adult life; they had no children. Other Adelaide softgoods wholesalers
