Albert Frech, whose first job was a four-dollar-a-week errand boy for the wholesale jewelry firm he now heads, observed his 65th year of continuous service with the company June Ist.
“I love the job, and the friends I have made in the business,” Mr. Frech stated in reviewing his career. He is president of the Eisenstadt Manufacturing Co., St. Louis, Mo., one of the largest wholesalers and manufacturers of jewelry in the nation.
Mr. Frech, who will be 80 in August, went to St. Louis from his home in Lebanon, Ill., when he was 14. His brother, Phillip, now dead, was working for the Eistenstadt firm and helped him get a job running errands from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., six days a week.
In a short time he was in charge of the shipping department, moved from there to selling, then to buying, and about 30 years ago was made a vice president. He was named president ten years ago.
In 1906, he and Miss Alvina Gerne, a young lady from his home town, were married. Their daughter is now married to James H. Hetzel, a vice president of the firm.
