I’ll Be Back to Pick It Up … As Soon as I Get Out of Prison

A man dropped off a pocketwatch with my father-in-law for repairs. He came back 25 years later to pick it up. Another time, a guy dropped off a bag of watches for batteries. He came back five years later after he got out of prison. The batteries were all dead and we had a hard time getting him to pay for new cells, but he eventually did. — Contributed anonymously to the 2022 Big Survey

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.”
