History of Michael Brothers and Athens Growth
The article profiles Michael Brothers, Simon and Moses G. Michael, as torchbearers of Athens wholesale dry goods. From a small two story frame in 1882 they built a vast five story brick complex, expanded into extensive Northeast Georgia and parts of South Carolina, and influenced Athens commerce with top goods and aggressive growth.
