Amos and Charlie made deliveries by horse and buggy throughout Upstate New York, even during the harsh winter months. In 1947, Hill & Markes was purchased by Harry and Harriet Finkle. In the 1970's, the Finkle's were joined by Neal Packer, Jeffrey Finkle, and Andrea Finkle Packer. Jason Packer later joined the company in 2008.
