Hobdy, Dye & Read, Inc.
Hobdy and Read was founded in 1907 by Arthur Hobdy and William A. Read. The business started in a small building near the L & N Railroad on East Main Street in Scottsville, Kentucky. A few years later they constructed a new building on East Main Street now occupied by the Dollar General Corporation. Coal, ice, salt, sand and bricks were among the first products sold. Chickens, eggs, ginseng, scrap iron and wool were bought or received in trade. Hobdy and Read became a Ford Franchise Dealer in 1914. They sold Cars, Tractors, and Farm Implements with the Ford emblem. Cars were shipped by train in crates to be assembled upon arrival. The Parts Department was said to have been a grass sack of parts stored with the chickens.
