{"product_id":"stone-thomas-golf-balls","title":"Stone \u0026 Thomas Golf Balls","description":"GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBring a piece of West Virginia retail history along for a round with these Stone \u0026amp; Thomas golf balls. Founded in Wheeling in 1847, Stone \u0026amp; Thomas grew from a downtown department store into a familiar regional name known to many as Stone’s and The People’s Store. Its story reflects generations of local shopping and the changing landscape of department stores, from expansion into nearby cities to its 1998 sale and the later conversion of its stores. A thoughtful pick for collectors and golf enthusiasts with a connection to the region.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStone \u0026amp; Thomas was a United States department store chain founded in 1847 in Wheeling, then in Virginia, by Elijah J. Stone and Jacob C. Thomas. Based in Wheeling, West Virginia, it became known as Stone’s and “The People’s Store,” and operated for about 150 years as a West Virginia institution. From its downtown Wheeling flagship, the chain expanded to Huntington in the 1910s and Charleston in 1928, later reaching other major West Virginia cities and locations in Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. In 1956 it bought Broida’s of Parkersburg and was briefly called Broida’s, Stone \u0026amp; Thomas. By the 1990s, it was focusing more on suburban stores and closing some older downtown locations. Falling profits led to its 1998 sale to Ohio-based Elder-Beerman for $38 million. By 1999, all Stone \u0026amp; Thomas stores had been converted to Elder-Beerman; six locations went to Peebles and three to Belk. The Huntington store was later purchased by Marshall University for its Department of Art \u0026amp; Design, which opened in the building on September 18, 2014.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGet your audience in the zone with these personalized golf balls.
