ARTHUR H. AMICK.

    Arthur H. Amick, president and manager of the Amick Storage & Transfer
Company of Denver, was born in Moberly, Missouri, September 26, 1872, a son of
James Madison and Louisa (Cannon) Amick, who were also natives of Missouri. The
father was for many years connected with the Wabash Railroad Company in the
mechanical department at Moberly, but in 1894 resigned his position and removed
to Denver to make this city his future home. He is still an honored and
respected resident of Denver and his wife is also living. They had a family of
four children: Frederick Luther, who is living in Denver; Homer Lee, engaged in
the transfer business in Denver; and Harry, who is secretary of the Pueblo
Chieftain of Pueblo, Colorado.

    The other member of the family and the eldest is Arthur H. Amick of this
review, who in early life attended the public schools of Moberly, Missouri, and
afterward became an employe of the Wabash Railroad, working in the mechanical
department under the direction of his father. He continued with the company
until he came to Denver to reside in 1894. Shortly after reaching the city he
turned his attention to the transfer business, beginning with one team.
Throughout the years he has continued in the same business and from a modest
beginning has developed his interests until today he is at the head of an
incorporated company, owning its own large and commodious storage warehouse,
together with seven automobile trucks and four large vans, besides two flat
wagons. The warehouse is a large modern building used for the storage of
household furniture and other purposes. It is located at No. 1035 Santa Fe
Drive. Mr. Amick employs a large force of workmen and assistants and his
business has steadily developed along substantial lines, making it one of the
profitable interests of the city.

    Mr. Amick has two children: Roy Lee, who was born in Moberly, Missouri; and
Roscoe, also born in Moberly. Mr. Amick has since 1891 been connected with the
Knights of The Maccabees and he has membership in the Kiwanis Club of Denver.
His religious faith is that of the Baptist church.

    He started out in the business world empty-handed but has steadily worked
his way upward and his success is due to close application and the wise use
which he has made of his time and opportunities. He has built up a business
along straightforward and honorable lines, at all times enjoying the confidence
of those who have given him their patronage, and his life record is an
indication of the fact that satisfied patrons are the best advertisement.
