Scope and content
A centenary booklet detailing the history of John Vicars, his family, and his company from 1873 to 1973. Also mentions Barker's Mill, Marrickville Mill, trends in fashion and production, and contains photos of machinery, the wool and fabric manufacturing process, and senior staff. John Vicars and Co. was acquired by Macquarie Textiles in 1992, which is possibly why it is part of the collection.
