Picked up this medal recently without knowing the first thing about it just because it looked like it could be interesting. Comments welcome. IP: Logged |

From the The Jewelers' Circular Weekly, 27 May 1908 The Forthcoming Convention of the American National Retail Jewelers' Association. Hastings, Minn., May 21.— When asked about the programme for the coming convention of the American National Retail Jewelers' Association, to be held Aug. 4-7, I. M. Radabaugh, of this city, secretary of the association, said it was impossible to give the exact programme at present, but it could be announced that a number of important speakers had been arranged for. Among these speakers will be Congressman Edward B. Vreeland, who will talk on "Legislation That Affects the Jewelry Trade"; A. L. Sackett, of the Buck Silver Plate Co., on "Retail Organization and Its Benefits to the Manufacturer"; Mr. Duncan, of the Waltham Watch Co., who will give an illustrated lecture on watch construction; J. Rowland Stebbins, on "Salesmanship," etc. A number of other speakers are still to be selected, though it is the purpose of the officers of the national association, this year, to reserve ample time for the discussion of popular topics rather than crowd the programme with too many speeches at the expense of such discussion as will prove valuable to the members. The Cincinnati association, he said, had notified the officers that the local committee is planning trips to a number of different and interesting spots around Cincinnati, and it is safe to say that the entertainment of the members will be well looked after in every way. The exhibition will be a notable feature of the convention, and this year will be on the same floor as the hall in which the members will meet. The convention, exhibition and headquarters of the association will all be at the Hotel Sinton, one of the finest hotels of the east, where a number of the members will probably also stop. Everything, said Mr. Radabaugh, points to a successful convention and a good attendance. Speaking generally of the work of the organization, Mr. Radabaugh said that the State associations are putting forth every effort to get new members and are meeting with much success. New members to the national organization are being added by the score, and it is expected that by the time the next annual meeting of the organization will be held it will be larger and stronger than even the most optimistic had anticipated. Among other work done by the national association, he said, was the forming of the new State association in Illinois, the reorganization of the South Dakota organization and the formation of the Virginia association at Richmond, June 18.

The firm was one of the largest suppliers of regalia and associated paraphernalia for fraternal organizations. It is apparently still in business at 2605 Burnet Ave. in Cincinnati. IP: Logged |

Thank you again. Brothers James, William and Russell Pettibone were in the Regalia business from at least 1880. William was a manufacturer in New York, Russell was in Kalamazoo and James stayed in Cincinnati. Russell the youngest of the three brothers was out of the business by 1930. IP: Logged |
