Tipton’s Best Kept Secret!

It’s not your Grandma’s antique shop. This doesn’t smell like an antique shop!

MEMORY LANE ANTIQUES Tipton Vintage & Artisan Market Showcases Pieces More Than a Century Old Writer / Julie Yates Photography Provided

When visitors walk into Memory Lane Antiques, located at 120 North Main Street, they immediately sense the shop is different from a typical antique store. Owned by Susan DeVault and her husband Jack, the shop showcases antique pieces more than a century old as well as vintage items and hand-crafted offerings by local artisans. After being in the business for almost 30 years, the couple is still enthusiastic about the unique inventory they provide to customers.

“It’s not your Grandma’s antique shop.

People say, ‘This doesn’t smell like an antique shop!’ I wash all the vintage linens and iron them. Jack washes the furniture. And we display things differently. We’ve bought some crazy stuff, had a lot of fun, and met the nicest people,” says Susie DeVault.

own business and allowed her to open a booth. Later, DeVault maintained booths in antique malls in Noblesville, Wabash and Bunker Hill.

DeVault’s interest in selling antiques began several years ago when she frequented a Tipton antique shop, Timeless Treasures, that was housed in the old J.C. Penny’s building. She would often browse there on her lunch hour.

The owner encouraged her to start her

“We are a half-block north of the Court House and like where we are. There is a lot of walking traffic and other businesses around that look great,” DeVault says.

Ten years ago, she began Memory Lane Antiques in Tipton. The shop has been in its current location for the last three years.

Inside, customers find a variety of genuine antiques but also a bit of midcentury

modern nostalgic pieces along with merchandise from local makers. The furniture is all high quality and there is an impressive selection of man-cave items including military memorabilia. Pottery from the closed companies of Weller, Roseville and McCoy allow collectors to find the highly sought-after vases, plates and platters they desire.

“One unique item we found in Green Bay, Wisconsin was half of a sculling boat from England,” DeVault adds. “In fact, we have bought several parts of boats. People that live on lakes just need those. We sold the front and the back of a 1938 Thompson.

The front of the boat was a light fixture and the back was a coffee table.”

Home is where the “Heart and Soul” Live

Our Services: Grooming & hygiene, prompiting of medications, private sitting, light housekeeping, running errands.

We provide companionship and care for our clients and their families.

DeVault and her husband travel to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to continually add inventory to the shop.

Using the town of Iron Mountain as a base, they buy objects such as oars, deer mounts, snowshoes and skis. Entering Michigan by way of Wisconsin, the couple search for items as they travel. Recently, they secured 10 sets of forest green and red Depression Ware that will be on display during the holiday season.

“We work hard and the business keeps us young. We have great customers that have become friends. There is a reward to it. We know where the stuff goes and we hear how happy it makes the people who buy it,” DeVault says.

Memory Lane Antiques is located at 120 North Main Street in Tipton. They are open Wednesday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and on Monday and Tuesday by appointment.

Judy and Ed Burton, and their sons Greg and Kory, founders of Apple Group, Inc. in Tipton, say local residents have helped their various family businesses succeed through the years.

“The amount of community support we have received from people in Tipton and the surrounding counties for the past 48 years has been outstanding,” Judy Burton says. “In 1974, our

family and another couple bought an empty car dealership downtown, and rehabbed an empty building into the Side Street Mall. My father and uncle did all the renovating, and built all the storefronts that still look good today.”

Burton says there have been other family businesses as well.

“Previous to starting Apple Group, Inc., we owned B’s Boutique Children’s Shop and Shoe Store that was located in the Side Street Mall,” Burton says.

Burton’s appreciation of Tipton has grown through the years.

The amount of community support we have received from people in Tipton for the past 48 years has been outstanding...

“We grew up here and attended school here, as did our children,” she says. “We all settled here because it is home. We love our community, and all that small towns offer - schools, parks, a sense of neighborhood, and freedom for our children to ride their bikes. We also have our community leaders that care, and the Tipton Main Street Association that has worked on improving our downtown appearance.”

WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON DELIVERY ON TIME, SO JUST TELL US WHEN YOU NEED IT, AND WE WILL DELIVER.

Burton says her family has also expanded through the years.

“We have three sons and their wives, 19 grandchildren, and two greatgrandbabies that live within 20 minutes of Tipton,” she says. “We consider ourselves very fortunate to have everyone close, and can enjoy them on almost a daily basis.”

The Burtons have enjoyed watching their business grow, and says it offers many services including screen printing, embroidery and advertising products.

“We can do almost anything imprinted or embroidered that you might need,” she says.

The company has a solid reputation with its repeat customers.

“We pride ourselves on delivery on time, so just tell us when you need it, and we will deliver,” Burton says. “We have grown our customer base through the years by repeated good service, and word of mouth from our good customers. We also have a showroom with all of our samples. Our strengths are our knowledgeable, friendly sales associates, our art department, and our commitment to serving our clients the best we can, by continuing education and sourcing of the latest products available.”

Burton is also proud of the work her business does during busy times. She recalls one particularly busy basketball season in the early 1990s. One week before the IHSAA Girls Basketball State Tournament finals in March of 1993, Kokomo School Corporation

(KSC) leaders ordered 1,000 cloth handkerchiefs with a special design on them for fans of the Kokomo girls basketball team. The KSC leaders also ordered 48 shirts with the same design.

Burton’s son Greg handled the design, which included an outline of the state of Indiana with a basketball net in the center, and she says the design and the colors on the shirts and handkerchiefs were a big hit.

An additional 250 shirts were ordered and were to be delivered to a pep rally after the Kokomo team won. However, McCutcheon High School in Lafayette had also placed an order with Burton’s company, including 30 shirts with an additional 400 to be delivered if the school won the game. Burton says the tricky part was waiting to see who won, and then getting her orders filled in a timely manner.

The Burtons watched the game on a small black-and-white television, and began completing orders accordingly when it became clear that Kokomo would be the victor.

It’s a clear example of Burton’s willingness to deliver for customers no matter the circumstance.
