Conklin buys property at the corner of the Georgia Railroad and Moore Street with eventual plans to relocate the warehouse.
This property was across the street from the Atlanta Paper Company and next door to where General William Sherman stabled his horses during his 1864 “March to the Sea.” The owners, Charles Conklin and John N. Goddard, devoted the business exclusively to “the distribution of Sheet Metals, Metal Roofing, and Sheet Metal Shop supplies.” Another warehouse in Savannah, Georgia serviced the southeast area of the state until World War II when the warehouse closed due to the difficulty in buying materials.
