And look at this: champagne punch served from 2 to 4 p.m. The store is a wonderful addition to Morrow County's fine business establishments. The remodeling is the culmina tion of lots of hard work, a pretty difficult thing to be doing while the business was operat ing as usual. Everyone joins in saying "Well done" to Randall and Marlene. Peterson's Jewelers has a rich history as is illustrated in this story from the Heppner Gazette edition of Mar. 8, 1928: Disposes of Business Here ' E.H.Buhn, who has been engaged in the jewelry business at Heppner during the past two years, has disposed of his business to J.O.Peterson of Pomeroy, Wash., who took possession on Monday. Mr. Peterson comes to Heppner well recommended as a watchmaker and repair man, having been in the employ of a jewelry firm in Pomeroy for the past three years or so. Mr. Buhn reluc tantly leaves Heppner, where he and Mrs. Buhn have made numerous friends during their sojourn of two years, but he was enabled to better his business relationship by taking the management of the large jewelry establishment of his brother at Boise, Idaho, in which he purchased an interest, hence the change at this time. Mr. and Mrs. Buhn and their son Edward will leave the coming week for Boise, where the best wishes of their Heppner friends go with them. Shortly after this, Mr. Peter son started a regular advertis ing program that has been continued unbroken. Forty-two years after buying this busi ness, his son, Randall, adver tises each week in the Heppner Gazette-Times. Here's an ad that appeared Mar. 29, 1928: Don't Miss That Date If your watch or clock is acting up - Bring it here Guaranteed Service PETERSON'S Successor to Bu hn's Jewelry Store "Selected Jewelry adds charm to Personal Adornment" Elks Present Magician The Heppner B.P.O.E.
