Jackson Gift Shop Burglarized

Twelve hundred to $l4C0 is the
estimated wholesale value Of jewel
ry and watches stolen from the
Jackson Gift Shop on Washington
St. Wednesday night. The burg
larry was discovered by the police
patrol at 1852 a. m. this morning.
The back door was found wide
open, and the frame badly splinter
ed b" thieves who apparently used
a bar to gain entrance. They had
broken window in the door in
an obvious attempt to reach the
night lock, and forced the door
when this method failed.
The front case in the store was
almost completely emptied. About
% watches were taken, five or six
OF which had solid gold eases.
Virtually all of the sterling silver
jewelry. was taken. The intrud-
ers ignored a child's' watch which
retails for S1495. This was the
only watch left in the store
Frank Jackson. owner OF the
business, is covered by insurance.
He could only give a rough esti-
mate of his loss, since he has not
yet had time 10 check his invoices,
against his sales records.
In this burglary, as in that at
the Hillside Gift Shop November
s. the intruders seemed TO know
just what they wanted, and did not
disturb expensive merchant Sc. Mr..
Jackson said that he might not be
able to replace many OF the stolen
items
This breaking and entering case
is the third of this kind here in
less than a month. The Standard
Oil Company's warehouse was brok-
e into on the same night the Hill
side was. and over $500 in cash
an checks were stolen, as well as
ration stamps totaling 5000 gallons
OF gasoline.
