Amos Giles Rhodes (1850–1928) was an Atlanta, Georgia furniture magnate. He was born in 1850 in Henderson, Kentucky. In 1875, he came to Atlanta as a laborer for the L & N Railroad. In 1879, he began a small furniture company which would grow into a large furniture business and make Rhodes a "pillar of the community". Some sources credit him with inventing the installment plan for buying furniture. Mr. A.G. Rhodes died in 1928, leaving a substantial endowment.
