Why Don’t You Quit … and More Reader Letters for November

Do Us All a Favor and Quit

There is a store across town where the owner insults people and runs them off on a daily basis. There is not one week that goes by that we don’t have someone tell us a bad story about him. Why are you still in the business if you don’t care about helping people and making them happy? Do us all a favor and close your store. Jewelers like this give the rest of us an undeserved stigma. — Marc Majors, Sam L. Majors, Midland, TX

GOOD FOR THE GOOSE

Manufacturers must be doing better than retailers to be able to dictate how much you have to spend to remain a customer. Love to see a retailer do this with one of their customers. — Scott Kelly, Jems Jewels & Gold, North Wales, PA

YOU’RE NO DAISY

Why are millennials constantly trying to reinvent the wheel? This seems to be the issue with them and jewelry; everything they want has to be “different” yet exactly the same as everyone else has! OMG, so dull, yet they think they’re so unique … LOL. — Idar Bergseth, Idar, Victoria, British Columbia

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.”
