Closing out
“I’ve worked in this store for 51 years, and it’s time,” said Marcia Adams Frugoli of her plans to shut down W.R. Adams & Son Jewelers in Sparks. She is the granddaughter of store founder William Adams, who bought the vintage cash register secondhand and installed it when the store opened in 1915. Her father, Robert, was the “and Son” and joined the business in 1929, and her mother, Louise, ran the business after him. Marcia has owned the store since 1990. It is one of Nevada’s oldest businesses.
