Gates, Miles Standish (sold)


Miles Standish Gates (April 9, 1889 - November 6, 1973) was a commercial artist active in and around Chicago, Illinois, in the mid-20th century. Gates was born in Cawker City, Kansas, but his family moved to Chicago early in his childhood. Little information on his life and training is available. He appears to have worked a variety of jobs before settling into work as a commercial artist sometime in the 1920s. (A 1926 advertisement offers his services for 'package and cartoon design - store displays'.) He briefly lived in Detroit and Milton, Illinois, before settling in Wheaton, near Chicago. He also appears to have lived on the Door Peninsula in Ephraim, Wisconsin, which could have been a summer residence. Gates married Thelma Sawyer around the year 1927, with whom he had two daughters.
