LOUIS SICKLES

Louis Sickles, who at the height of his business career was one of the foremost men in the wholesale jewelry trade, expects to observe his 75th anniversary on Oct. 10 in a quiet manner at a family gathering in his home, Rittenhouse Plaza, 19th and Walnut Sts., Philadelphia.

With his three capable sons, Moses L., David and Louis Sickles, Jr., devoting themselves to the wholesale watch business of Louis Sickles at 1015 Chestnut St., Philadelphia, Mr. Sickles now has more freedom to enjoy life.

Mr. Sickles was president of the National Wholesale Jewelers Association for two terms, later served as member and chairman of its advisory board and was the first president of the Philadelphia Wholesale Jewelers Association.

He established his own business in May, 1923, at the present address, after 38 years with M. Sickles & Son, Philadelphia wholesalers, as salesman, buyer, credit man, general manager and partner. He began in the trade 56 years ago.
