1946: Setting up Shop
In 1946, our Grandfather, Ford Hurlbutt, began working in the jewelry repair industry. He learned the trade from his stepfather, who had worked in a Chicago trade shop.
His first shop was in the basement of the Gladmer Theatre in downtown Lansing. Grandpa and Henry Lehman worked together there for many years. Eventually they went their separate ways. Henry began a jewelry concession in Knapps Department Store, and Grandpa began a jewelry repair business out of the Hollister Building, located in downtown Lansing.
