Monday A.P. Tilley, for several years one of Durham’s most respected and beloved citizens, leaves for Birmingham, Ala., where he will make his home. He came to Durham when the first Gilmer’s store was opened and has managed it until the present time in an efficient and excellent manner. He tendered his resignation a short time ago.
Succeeding Mr. Tilley as manager of the local store Gilmer’s is H.H. King. Mr. King has been associated with Mr. Tilley here for several years and is thoroughly familiar with the work of the company here. He is well known in Durham, having a large number of friends who feel that in naming him the successor of Mr. Tilley, the company has done a wise thing.
B.H. Martin from the Raleigh store of Gilmer’s has taken over the piece goods department, succeeding C.C. Nelson, who has already gone to Birmingham, where he will be associated with Mr. Tilley. Mr. Martin comes to Durham highly recommended and it is expected that he will make a good successor to Mr. Nelson.
