Al and Dotty Schneider, who have been operating a business in downtown Watertown for 32 years, plan to retire at the end of the year. A retirement sale at their store, Schneider Jewelry, located at 309 East Main Street, will get underway Tuesday. Hours for the sale will be from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. The Schneiders have been in business since November 1952 at various locations in the downtown area. Their first store was located upstairs at 115 1/2 East Main Street. From there, the business moved to 608 East Main Street where First State Savings is now located. The Schneiders then bought out Chady Jewelers at 111 South Third Street when Ernest Chady retired. They operated Schneider Jewelry at that location for 15 years, moving to their present site in 1970.
