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.
