Description

There is one great story behind these little treasures. In 1910, the Vick's Chemical Company, began it's operations in Greensboro, North Carolina until it was demolished in the 1960s for a new plant. In the middle of October, clearing of land was being done for apartments going up there in Greensboro. A Bull Dozer unearthed thousands of old Vick's medicine bottles. It is thought that these tiny, mini bottles were salesman samples. It was written by a historian that Vick's started distributing over 5 million samples in 1917 to potential Vick's customers. Vick's took off in popularity and sales, greatly due to the Spanish Flu epidemic that struck from 1918 to 1920. Read the full story here.
