Hicklin played a critical role in the international expansion of Avon and its diversification into new product lines, most notably apparel for men and women. Capping off his 43-year career, Hicklin doubled Avon’s sales and earnings between 1967 and 1972 – enabling the company to reach the $1 billion mark in sales for the first time.
