Charles A. Kibbe, of "Kibbe's farm advertising agency," established in 1875, is a native of Fulton
County, N. Y., and son of Nathaniel S. Kibbe, who came to Batavia in 1870. Previous to living here Charles A. was
engaged in the glove and mitten business at Gloversville, N. Y. He has made a great success of his real estate
business, his sales the past three years amounting to $2.000,000, and a total of $8,000,000. He handles property
all over the United States. He makes a specialty of advertising, having spent in all over $26,000 for that purpose,
or about $2,000 per year. He has about 500 cooperative agents in the United States. Mr. Kibbe has opened a branch
office in room 1, No. 8 State street, Rochester, with W. P. Hawkins as manager. His work is strictly a commission
one. He originated this "new idea" of dealing in farm properties, and has proved it to be a success.
Mr. Kibbe is one of the energetic business men of the town; an active mover in all enterprises to build up the
place by the introduction of new manufactures.
