The Shop
- Over 75 Years in Aldershot
| We
had in the past celebrated events with a display of lead soldiers
in the window as seen in 1952 for the Queen's Coronation, and her
Jubilee in 1977 but due to the heavy cost of insuring the display
the collection has now been sold, for to put them in the window today
would be inviting trouble.

We
like to pride ourselves with looking after our customers with knowledge
and good manners and taking the time to stand and listen. To the
Irish lady who insisted on Terminal underwear for her husband when
she meant Thermal and we really knew things were getting bad when
a lady insisted we cut a new handkerchief in half as she had two
nephews. The customer is of course always right. Two years ago we celebrated 75years in Aldershot, and we have not stopped signing autographs since our appearances on Meridian and collector's Lot!

The small shop must look to its most basic and inherent characteristic that of personal service. We can visit the elderly, who can't get into Town, and we can deliver goods the same day if it's local .We liase with schools and if we have not got it, we can usually get it. I have a son Jonathan and a daughter Katherine . Jonathan is the last of the line at the moment to bear the surname Jerome and it would be nice to see the shop pass to a fourth generation but who knows what lies in store for towns in the future. |
