CHAPTER ONE
The Triumph Of You'll
~ OR twenty years two young men
IkR ~ have been looking out on
EYSN Court Square. Truly they
N&Ag&Q are still young, for this span
NSkNp of time represents but two
X thirds the age of either.
w Business furnishes abundant themes
for romance. Imagine two youths in
knickerbockers starting out to work
side by side and then attaining emf
nent business success while initiative
is still at concert pitch, and with a
a. keen zest for greater things.
Y The jewelry business has gone
through a series of evolutions with the
years-yes, with the centuries. 1t be-
gan with the Oriental bazaar, which was just a
stage above the peddler.
The purchase of a jewel then was simply
a trade, a finished transaction. There was no
aftermath. The highest price that could be Sc
cured was the correct price.
The jewelry business has developed and
progressed along with other lines. Yet the idea
of permanent patronage was slow to take hold
and fictitious values prevailed for a long time.
M. B. Joseph and Chas. w. Myers, as
ambitious lads with the Crescent Jewelry Com
pany, had a vision Of higher ideals in the midst
of old-time surroundings.
They early inspired confidence and built up
personal followings. The same people who
bought Christmas gifts came back for birthday
~remembrances and anniversaries. An ~increas-
ing number of friends wrote in from many
states.
These two young men eventually came to
own the Crescent Jewelry Company and con-
tinued under that title for few years. Then,
to start afresh and appear under their own sig
nature, the firm name was changed to Joseph
Myers, Inc.
Today theirs is a beautiful store, unsur-
passed in the South, including many depart
ments with an efficient personnel, occupying an
entire building. Every Memphian should view
it as a matter of local pride. Visitors will find
charming point of interest in cordial atmos-
phere.
The markets of the world are searched for
articles of enduring beauty, and, in most cases,
Of real utility. A reasonable profit only is
added. Even the prices of diamonds have been
standardized.
Patronage is sought through the changing
seasons and into the coming generations.
People from every state in the Union send
in mail orders to Joseph-Myers, Inc, of Mem
phis. That is another interesting feature of this
serial which is to follow.
