Following cash flow problems the company was bought out by the Finch brothers, local timber farmers to whom Thomasville owed money.The Finch family guided the company to success, achieving sales of $1 million by 1917. By the 1950s turnover reached $17 million. Durng this period their top of the line product was named Finch Fine Furniture.
