‘A Woman’s Touch’
Owners finding unlimited success in ‘9o’s

What would Perry's economy be
without its busineswomen?
What difference do they make in the
appearance of Perry and in the
attitude Perry's business people
have toward the public?
Many of the businesses in the
downtown area are operated by
women who greet customers as if
they were guests in their homes.
They provide a friendly atmosphere
for browsing and shopping.
They greet out-of-town
customers as if they were old
friends and provide general
information about Perry, places to
see in the surrounding
communities, routes to take to
various places, information on the
antique shops, the Agricenter,
schools, churches, places for fine
foods and lodging.
You name it, and they will
either give the information, find it
for you, or tell you where to find it.
The Perry Area Chamber of
Commerce, Welcome Center, Perry
Library, and various other places
where information is normally
dispensed, are operated by women.
Four businesswomen in the
downtown area, Barbara Jones,
Murriel Meadows, Elizabeth
Flowers and Anne Ratliff, gave the
following information about their
businesses:
Card Carousel Hallmark Shop,
located at 902 Carroll St., is a card,
gift and collectibel shop which has
been in business 17 years.
Murriel Meadows has owned and
operated it for the last 10 years,
with Danease Sullivan serving as
manager for the last six years.
In addition to Hallmark
merchandise, the shop specializes in
collectibles, such as Precious
Moments, Memories of Yesterday,
Calico Kittens, All God's Children
and Madam Alexander Dolls. At
this time, Murriel's specialty is her
handpainted porcelain dolls. She is
also the creator of the official 1994
Cherry Blossom (Carolyn) and
1994 Dogwood Festival (Tiffany)
dolls.
