Tops Appliance

Memories are made in Mom and Pop stores, not “box” stores. By Stephanie Cato 

Friday I needed a part for my dryer, so we stopped by Tops Appliances in Milton. We were fascinated by some of the antiques on display and the operational fifties vintage water fountain. I acquired about a stove my family had purchased years before, and the clerk remembered my mother, Luquetta “Pete” Whitfield and was able to pull up all her purchases going back over 20 years. My first TV came from Top's Tv! I also remember visiting Top's as a child and enjoyed helping Mom decide which appliance we would buy. So many memories flooded back into my mind. Memories are made in Mom and Pop stores not “box” stores...

Tops Appliances is a family owned store opened by Clayton White in 1957. His son, Barry White, inherited the business when his father passed in 2014 and now operates the store located at 6712 Caroline Street. Tops is a full service appliance company that sells many major brands. They are open Monday - Friday 8AM to 5PM and 8AM - Noon on Saturday. They carry many parts in stock and if the do not have it, they’ll gladly order it for you. Stop in and check out all the appliances they have on their showroom floor.

An Little Help

One of my childhood friends got into an ATV accident on 7/29/17. Julie ran into stump hidden in tall grass. Upon impact, she flew forward hitting her legs into the handle bars and mouth smashing into the brush guard. The impact knocked one tooth out and push her 3 remaining front teeth up and back. The teeth acted like a wedge and split the upper hard pallet causing it to fall.
Her teeth and palate were repositioned with a bar, wires, screws and sutures to bring everything into place and hold secure while healing.
She will need more dental work done in the future to replace the tooth that was lost and to repair the damages to the 3 remaining teeth.

Julie is a strong, beautiful, and loving person. She works hard every single day to provide for her son Payton. Julie will be returning to work soon but her medical and dental expenses will continue to grow. Her medical deductible is $10,000 and this does not include her dental cost. I am hoping by starting this campaign we can relieve some of her stress so Julie can concentrate on getting back to herself. 

If you are able to donate, thank you! If not, please share with your family and friends. Thank you again!

-- 
"Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues,
the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great
intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality of those who seek to change a world which
yields most painfully to change."
          - Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961), A Farewell to Arms, 1929ll to Arms, 1929
