Bev and Alex Simmons and their family are celebrating the 70th anniversary of their buoyant business Dolly Jewellers. Bev’s father began Dolly in May of 1946 and the young couple was determined to continue his high standard of business when they took over from him on his retirement 25 years ago. Today Bev and Alex offer the same skill and knowledge to new friends in Leaside and all South Bayview. This month Dolly Jewellers, 1699 Bayview Ave., is celebrating with an extensive selection of gold and silver jewellery and giftware. A secret feature of the Dolly Jewellers appeal is a beautiful selection of vintage jewellery and watches. It could only be put together by people who know their field. In a way, there is a second anniversary at hand because it is three years since Dolly Jewellers moved onto Bayview. The Simmons often speak of the generosity and warmth they have found among people in Leaside and area. The feeling is no doubt mutual.
