Rapp's+Jewelry+Store




 * In June of 1936, Russel Rapp bought out the jeweler Sam Brainard, and created Rapp & Son, Inc. This was the start of this fine and successful jewelry business. Rapp continued to build his business and in result it continued to grow and flourish. In 1967 Rapp began to remodel his store and make it more appealing. Again in 1968, the exterior of the building was being remodeled, and the Community Design Committee approved of the changes. Some of the first employees of the firm were Mrs. Edith Morton and Mrs. Evelyn Dushenke. Although Mr. Rapp was not a registered jeweler at the time, he went to the American Gem Society and from there became a registered jeweler. Through his hard work, Rapp & Son, Inc. qualified to be in the American Gem Society which only was offered to a firm that maintained high standards like reputation, and integrity. Also they needed to have a well kept and appealing appearance, have a showing of stock, having good merchandise, and the offering of merchandise at the same price to every buyer. This store was very successful from its beginning in 1936 all the way up until the 90’s. It has a long history of good business and it is part of the history of 28 Public Square, Medina, Ohio. **
