SIBBING'S JEWELRY. H.F.C. Schneider opened a jewelry store in downtown Dubuque in 1882. Ed Sibbing joined the firm and the company was renamed Schneider and Sibbing's. Sibbing purchased the business in 1922 and changed the name to--Sibbing's. The 1929 through 1941 Dubuque City Directory listed the address as 803 Main.

After the death of Sibbing in 1942, the business was purchased by Nat Teguns. In 1951 through 1962 the Dubuque City Directory listed 835 Main for the store's location.
