Thomas Charles Macauley is a prominent figure in connection with the tobacco trade of Idaho, being one of the proprietors of a wholesale and retail business at Twin Falls that is conducted under the style of Macauley Brothers. For a considerable period he has been identified with the sale of cigars and tobacco in this state and has developed a business of substantial and gratifying proportions.

Mr. Macauley is a native of Omaha, Nebraska, his birth having occurred in that city on the 24th of October, 1881. He is a son of John and Susan ( McTaggart) Macauley. His brother. M. John Macauley, who was associated with him in business for a considerable period, was born in Columbus, Nebraska, November 23, 1875 (1879 per records and headstone).

During his childhood Thomas Charles Macauley left Nebraska in company with his parents, who established their home at Cheyenne, Wyoming, from which point they afterward removed to Anaconda, Montana, where he continued until 1904. He then came to Twin Falls and for a year was connected with Perrine & Burton, conducting the Pioneer Store of Twin Falls. On the 2d of December, 1905, he established business on his own account. He was joined by his brother, M. John Macauley, who was his partner from 1909 until his death in 1919. From 1905 until 1909 Thomas C. Macauley had conducted the business alone under the name of the Liberal Cigar Store and when joined by his brother the firm style of Macauley Brothers was assumed. They not only conducted the store at Twin Falls but also opened a retail cigar business at Burley and Mr. Macauley of this review remained as proprietor of both establishments. He started his business in Twin Falls on Main street in a small building and in 1917 removed to his present location. In 1920 his brother William H. became interested in the business, which is still conducted under the name of Macauley Brothers. Their trade has constantly increased and they sell largely in a wholesale way, while also enjoying an extensive local patronage. The brothers are most progressive, alert and energetic business men and they constitute one of the strong commercial firms of the city.

In 1912 M. John Macauley was united in marriage to Miss Marie J. Barrette, a daughter of Edmund Barrette, and they became the parents of three sons, John, Harold and Robert. Twin Falls lost a representative business man when the husband and father was called to his final rest. He was highly esteemed by all who knew him by reason of his sterling worth of character and genial disposition, which gained for him many friends.

Thomas C. Macauley of this review is a member of the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, of which his brother John was past exalted ruler. He is also identified with the Knights of Columbus. His active career has been marked by a steady progress that has resulted from broad experience, close application and indefatigable energy.
