I’m not sure how old this building is, but I love that it has J & J Jewelers & Rock Shop and Allen’s Taxidermy under one roof.

Bishop’s Jewelry, 1948, Cairo
Bill and Evelyn Lett Bishop established Bishop’s Jewelry in 1948, and operated for 51 years. They sold it to their nephew, Mark Bishop, in 1999, and it remains one of the anchors of the downtown historic district. Most small towns had a jewelry store like this when I was growing up.

McMillan’s Jewelers, Ocilla
Mr. Emory McMillan [along with Mrs. Eula] and his jewelry store were synonymous with style and good taste in Ocilla for much of the later half of the 20th century. He was a no-nonsense gentleman who, like the best of small-town merchants, knew his community and his customers well. Since his passing in 2012, the storefront has been repainted and another business located here. To many, it will always be remembered as McMillan’s Jewelers.
Central Jewelry Sign, Tifton
This sign is a well-known Tifton landmark and a relic of the time when many jewelry stores had clocks on their signs. They were known to sell the finest clocks and watches in town.
