The Mermod-Jaccard & King Jewelry Co., which was established 96 years ago, was the oldest business concern to be represented at a Contemporary Dinner of Scruggs, Vandervoort & Barney Dry Goods Co., St. Louis, in their tea room on April 16. The dinner was a community feature of the Diamond Jubilee of Scruggs, Vandervoort & Barney, which acquired the Mermod-Jaccard & King Jewelry Co., in 1917, Forty-two concerns were represented at the dinner. An old ledger of Mermod-Jaccard & King brought to light last week disclosed many interesting accounts in which names of the founders and early leaders of St. Louis were prominent. In quaint writing and careful French are inscribed such items as “$2 for repairing the watch of Madame Chouteau,’ $5 for shoe buckles for Advocate Bogy,” ‘$10 for mosaic brooch for Madame Cabanne,” “$2.50 for a clock for College de St. Louis (St. Louis University),” “$12 for bracelet for Madame Papin of Kakaskia” and many other entries reflecting the life and fashions of the old French St. Louis of almost a century ago. Another jewelry concern represented at the Jubilee Dinner was the J. Bolland Jewelry Co., which was founded in 1848.

In a window of the Mermod & Jaccard Jewelry Co., last week, were displayed the medals made by the concern to be awarded to the winners in the Irish Nationalists in their athletic contests which were held at the Fair ground Sunday. The medals number 11 in all and are of 14-kt. gold. They hang from a bar, upon which are the Irish and American flags in their natural colors done in hard enamel. The discs suspended from the bars are of heavy gold. In the center are the initials “I. N.,” in enamel. On a belt surrounding these are the words “athletic games.” On each side the belt is inlaid with enamel in red and blue. A Mercury foot on each side gives the idea of swiftness. The whole is surrounded by a wreath in heavy gold beautifully engraved.
