Abstract:

Miles examines the \"pioneering, Western North Carolina-based natural medicine manufacturer S. B. Penick and Co.\" who dominated the business for years. He founded his company in Marion in 1914, and with the advent of World War I and the need for medicine, his business increased tenfold.
