vice-president, W. D. Curtis; secretary 

 and assistant manager, S. A. Wilson; 

 treasurer, E. F. Kiley; directors with 

 the foregoing, C. N. Brown, T. S. Mor- 

 ris and Dr. C. S. Sheldon. It was re- 

 ported that "the total amount of busi- 

 ness for the year was over $350,000, an 

 increase of more than $110,000 over 

 the total for 1911, or forty-five and 

 one-half per cent. This amount is al- 

 most three times as great as the total 

 amount for 1909, our first year in Mad- 

 ison. Most of this splendid increase 

 was in our catalogue mail order busi- 

 ness and gave us a net profit this year 

 of over six per cent of our total sales, 

 as compared with two and one-third 

 per cent last year. ' ' 



As noted in last week's issue of The 

 Eeview, the company has recently pur- 

 chased 132 X 132 feet on Williamson 

 street, running back to the railroad, 

 with facilities of two tracks, and is 

 making plans for a four-story and base- 

 ment reinforced concrete building 66 x 

 125, to be completed at the expiration 

 of the lease of the present location, 

 which expires September 1, 1913. 



THE VICK CONSOLIDATION. 



Final steps have been taken ili the 

 consolidation of James Vick's Sons, 

 the Vick Seed Co., and the Vick & 

 Hill Co., of Rochester. 



For the purpose of effecting the va- 

 rious transfers, the Vick & Dildine Co. 

 was organized early in the year, as a 

 corporation under the laws of New 

 York, with a capital stock of $150,000. 

 The oflScers of this company are: Pres- 

 ident, F. W. Vick; vice-president. Dr. 

 H. W. Allen; secretary, Hon. H. F. 

 Remington; treasurer and general man- 

 ager, W. H. Dildine. 



It is expected that each of the sub- 

 sidiary concerns will continue practi- 

 cally the same as heretofore, but their 

 union will mean the elimination of 

 much expense and will strengthen every 

 department. All of the men actively 

 cojinected with the business as reor- 

 ganized have been occupying responsi- 

 ble positions in one concern or the 

 other for many years. The officers of 

 the subsidiary concerns are as follows: 



James Vick's Sons: President, Chas. 

 H. Vick; secretary, Hon. H. F. Eem- 

 ington; treasurer, W. H. Dildine. 



Vick & Hill Co.: President, F. W. 

 Vick; vice-president, Albert F. Vick; 

 treasurer, W. H. Dildine. 



Vick Seed Co.: President, Chas. H. 

 Vick; secretary, Geo. Arnold; treas- 

 urer, W. H. Dildine. 



James Vick's Sons retain the retail 

 store on Stone street, where they have 

 been located for twelve years. The 

 offices and warerooms were removed 

 last week to a more modern and con-
