JEWELRY REPAIRING
Dear friends:
r\ecidents will happen.
Every day we see the effects of "jewelry” accidents
here at the store. Broken chains, lost ring sets, broken
silverware, etc.
If you have any jewelry repairing to do, they certainly
know how to do it at Skeie’s.
And say, do you know that your old jewelry can be
made up into new and clever novelties? They do that
here, also. If you have some old jewelry that is out 0/
date and not serving its purpose any more, bring it in and
we'll see if we can’t fix you up.
Remember this, too, that we do any kind of watch
repairing.
