The Honolulu Academy of Arts was founded in 1927 by Anna Rice Cooke, a woman born into a prominent missionary family on O`ahu in 1853. Growing up in a home that appreciated the arts, she went on to marry Charles Montague Cooke, also of a prominent missionary family, and the two settled in Honolulu. In 1882, they built a home on Beretania Street, on the site that would become home to the museum. As Charles Cooke prospered, he and his wife began to assemble an art collection, starting with “parlor pieces” from the shop of furniture maker Yeun Kwock Fong Inn who had ceramics and textile pieces sent from his brother in China. Fong Inn eventually became one of Honolulu`s leading art importers. When the Cookes` art collection outgrew their home, Anna Rice Cooke decided to create Hawai`i`s first visual arts museum, which would reflect the islands` multicultural make-up, for the children of Hawai`i. In 1920, she and her daughter Alice (Mrs. Phillip Spalding), her daughter-in-law Dagmar (Mrs. Richard Cooke), and Mrs. Isaac Cox, an art and drama teacher, began to catalogue and research the collection as a first step. With little formal training, these women obtained a charter for the museum from the Territory of Hawai`i in 1922. The Cookes donated their Beretania Street land for the museum, along with an endowment of $25,000, and the family home was torn down to make way for the new institution. They hired New York architect Bertram Goodhue to design the plans. Goodhue died before the project was completed, and his colleague Hardie Phillip finished the job. Over the years, the museum`s revival mission style has been imitated in many buildings throughout the state. Since it opened, the museum has grown steadily, both in acquisitions and in stature, to become one of the finest museums in the United States. Additions to the original building include a library (1956), an education wing (1960), a gift shop (1965), a cafe (1969), a contemporary gallery, administrative offices and 280-seat theater (1977), and an art center for studio classes and expanded educational programming (1989). The museum`s permanent collection has grown from 500 works to more than 50,000 pieces spanning 5,000 years, with significant holdings in Asian art, American and European painting and decorative arts, 19th- and 20th-century art, an extensive collection of works on paper, Asian textiles, and traditional works from Africa, Oceania, and the Americas.
Hornsby Tire Distributors was founded in Ariton, Alabama in 1967 by Mr. Bobby Hornsby. Mr. Hornsby began operations in a renovated church with one International pickup truck. Mr. Roger Hornsby purchased the company from his father in 1995. Under Roger`s leadership, the company experienced its first round of growth with an additional distribution center in Dothan, Alabama. New ownership and senior management was ushered into the business at the end of 2009 and quickly built upon the foundation that Mr. Hornsby provided. In 2011 we began our next wave of expansion as we established a greenfield distribution center in the growing Huntsville, Alabama market. The year 2012 brought two major initiatives - the first being the consolidation of our Ariton and Dothan facilities into a new and much larger Dothan, Alabama distribution center. The second major development in 2012 was the acquisition of David Tire Company located in Birmingham, Alabama. This significant acquisition enabled Hornsby Tire Distributors to not only provide coverage to 100% of Alabama, but also increase our market reach in Georgia and Mississippi. Our most recent expansion was an additional greenfield distribution center in Columbus, GA that was established in 2014. Our current footprint covers 100% of Alabama, and significant portions of Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, and Tennessee. What began with one pickup truck and a renovated church has grown into four distribution centers, dozens of delivery vehicles, and an experienced and dedicated team committed to helping your business grow. Hornsby Tire Distributors was founded on a rock solid commitment to doing things the right way – every time, without exception. With a proven history of honesty and dependability, Hornsby Tire Distributors will continue to exceed our customers expectations. We will continue to grow to meet the market demand for a truly wholesale focused distributor, while never wavering from our founding principles.
