cookies and clock

“There are times when a clock owner will call me on the telephone and tell me their clock has stopped. After asking a series of questions, many times the owner is able to take care of the problem themselves. One person, after the completion of the over-the-phone repair, asked what they needed to pay me. I told them nothing since they solved the problem themselves. They insisted, so I told them they could send me a dozen oatmeal cookies. It was a year before I collected.” — Glyn Jolly, G.J. Enterprise, Victoria, TX

Choose the Easy Way to Retire with Wilkerson

After 47 years in business, Jim Saylor, owner of Jim Saylor Jewelers in Kapa’a, Hawaii, knew retiring successfully meant holding a going-out-of-business sale. He also knew he needed help to do it right. He chose Wilkerson. “I’ve heard a lot of different names of companies that do this type of thing,” says Saylor. “Wilkerson’s always seems to be in the forefront.” Saylor says the Wilkerson folks really cared about the success of the sale, making the next phase of his life a lot easier. “I’d recommend Wilkerson to anybody contemplating a change,” he says. “They are true experts.”
