In 1899, John Barbey and a group of investors established the Reading Glove and Mitten Manufacturing Company. In 1920, the company is renamed Vanity Fair Silk Mills, Inc. and they begin selling silk lingerie. Some 20+ years after that, there is an embargo on silk during World War II and so ‘silk’ is dropped from the name. In 1951, the company goes public on the NYSE. In 1969, the name is changed yet again to simply VF Corporation and the company expands into denim. Then, just three years later they begin what is now a 50-year streak of annually increasing their dividend. And this is why we gather today.
All hail VF Corporation!
