Emil Sick (June 3, 1894 – November 10, 1964) of Seattle, Washington was a brewing worker and industrialist in Canada and later the US. He is well known for his involvement as owner of baseball teams and stadiums in Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia from the 1930s until 1960. He was chairman of the board of Sick's Rainier Brewing Company and president of Sicks' Brewery Enterprises, Inc., both of Seattle, and a director of three other firms, Molson's Brewery, Ltd., and Sicks' Breweries, Ltd., both of Canada, and the Peoples National Bank of Washington. He also was a director of the Seattle World's Fair. ==Early Life and Family Business== Emil Sick was the son of Canadian brewer Fritz Sick (1859 - 1945) who built Sick's Lethbridge Brewery where he created Old Style Pilsner and other brand name beers still present in Canadian markets. Emil Sick attended Western Canada College in Calgary, and took courses at Stanford University. In an effort to allow his son to learn the family business, Fritz assigned Emil to the duties of shipping clerk at the Lethbridge brewery. Later, Emil worked in other duties within his father's operations in Spokane, Salem, Missoula, Vancouver, B.C., and Prince Albert, Saskatchewan and Regina, Saskatchewan. Sick became general manager of the Associated Breweries of Canada, in 1925. He was managing director of the company in 1928 and president in 1934, one year after he and his father entered the U.S. market following the repeal of Prohibition.〔Sportspress Northwest - 03/06/2012 Seattle First Citizen Emil Sick, by David Eskenazi〕 The Sicks began by acquiring control of breweries in Great Falls and Missoula. Then they established the Goetz Brewery in Spokane. Moving on to Seattle, Fritz and Emil made a deal to lease the old Bay View Brewery at the base of Beacon Hill, which was shuttered in 1919 and turned into a feed mill. On June 7, 1933, the Sicks incorporated the Century Brewing Association and renamed the Bay View plant Century Brewery, modernizing it with a $75,000 investment. A year after leasing the property, the Sicks purchased it. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Emil Sick」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
