Abstract:

In 1905, Lunsford Richardson, a Greensboro druggist, went into business to sell his own medicines. He called his company Vick Family Remedies Company; in 1960, the name was changed to Richardson-Merrell, Inc. Under Richardson, and later his son Smith, the company expanded to eleven U.S. and eighteen foreign plants of a $340 million enterprise.
