H.D. Smith continues to grow - Springfield, IL - The State Journal-Register:
"The company expanded into the northern California and the Northwest through the November buyout of Valley Wholesale Drugs. Valley Wholesale served more than 600 independent pharmacies in California and Nevada. The deal included a distribution license for Washington State.
