In 1894, Noble was made a partner, and the proper noun of the store was changed to Hinds & Noble.[14]

1900–1919 [edit]

In 1901, Hinds & Noble moved to 31–35 W. 15th Street.[fifteen]

In 1917, Noble bought out Hinds and entered into a partnership with William Barnes, son of his erstwhile friend Charles Barnes; the name of the store was changed to Barnes & Noble soon afterwards.[16] [17] Charles had previously opened a volume-press business in Wheaton, Illinois, in 1873, named the C. M. Barnes-Wilcox Visitor; William Barnes, still, divested himself of his buying interest in his father's business shortly before his partnership with Noble. (His father's company would become on to go the Follett Corporation.) Although the flagship store in one case featured the motto "Founded in 1873," the C. M. Barnes-Wilcox Company never had any connection with Barnes & Noble, save for the fact that both were partly owned (at dissimilar times) past William Barnes.

In 1930, Noble sold his share of the company to William Barnes' son, John Wilcox Barnes.[18] Noble died on June 6, 1936, at the age of 72.[nineteen] In 1932, at the elevation of the Corking Depression, the bookstore moved its flagship location to 18th Street and 5th Avenue,[twenty] which served every bit the company's flagship location until its closure in 2014.
