Pointer's Jewelers Information

Pointer's Jewelers has a long, historical past. In 1858, Mr. Megede, a Prussian born silversmith, established L. Megede Jewelers and Optometrist and served the community as a fine watchmaker and jeweler. By the late 1800's, L. Megede Jewelers and Optometrist sold not only jewelry and eye glasses, as the name implied, but musical instruments, guns, golf equipment, wall paper and Victrola's. Crumbling account ledgers, dating back to the 1870's, are still kept at the store, listing many prominent residents and their purchases. In the early 1950's, Jack and Bonnie Pointer merged their store with the Megede's, renaming the store Pointer's Jewelers and Engravers. Jack Pointer, an accomplished watch maker, jeweler and hand engraver maintained a reliable jewelry business based on customer service, honesty and dependability, until his death.
