It all started in 1946.  And it’s ending here in 2012.

Kind of sad, yet everyone deserves retirement.  And Pat Snyder says “now’s the time.”

Snyder’s Jewelry & Gift Shop, a staple in downtown Watseka is currently involved with its GOING OUT OF BUSINESS SALE.

Pat Snyder’s been involved since way back when his dad, Ralph Snyder, first started Snyder’s Watch Shop in 1946.  Now, Pat says, it’s time to step aside………….

Drastically reduced prices….40 to 70% Off…are attracting shoppers, old and new.  And that finds the Snyder’s staff enjoying staff many acquaintances from over the years.

Pat says it’s been a fun run…for all the family…………..

One of the area’s longest-serving jewelry stores has been such a success.  Why now, Pat ?..........                                                           (as I am)   1:27          #  39

And being a part of the Watseka community.  That’s sure to bring a warm smile to Pat Snyder and the family…………….
