The Customer Caught With His Pants Down

We purchase jewelry from the general public and often ask them to send us pictures of the items they’d like to sell before making an appointment to come by our showroom. We received a photo from a gentleman of a ring he wanted to sell, and upon closer inspection of the background of the photo, we realized he was sitting on the toilet with his pants around his ankles in a public restroom! — Julie Walton Garland, Walton’s Jewelry, Franklin, TN

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.”
