Clyde’s Jewelers in Howard, Wisconsin will close in early March after more than 80 years in business, according to a local news source.

The owner, Jim Nelson, cited the recession as the main culprit behind the decision.

Clyde’s is running a liquidation sale beginning February 1st that will see prices on inventory reduced 50 percent to 70 percent over the next few weeks until they close March 6.
