Time flies
When I was a newspaper carrier, one of my customers in the downtown area was Hildreth’s Jewelry Store owned by Harold Hildreth. It was located on the east side of North Main Street, not far from Spring’s Market, about where the Union County Foundation office is today. When I went into the store on Saturday mornings to collect, it was always fun to look in the windows. They were full of rings and pins and all kinds of jewelry, plus watches and a lot of knick-knacks, things like little china figurines and stuff like that.
