Only Daddy’s Little Girl Could Get Away With This

When my daughter and I brought Pearl home from The Humane Society, we were in the store for about 10 minutes and she said, “Look, Dad!” I turned around and she had a strand of pearls around Pearl’s neck. I said they were cute. Where did you get them from? “Out of the pearl case,” she said. Only a daughter could get away with that. — Thomas Thobe, Pyramid Studios, Ellsworth, ME

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
