211 S Main St, Elkhart, IN 46516
(574) 294-6486
Linton’s Enchanted Gardens
Downtown Elkhart has seen many transformations over the last century, and currently seems to
be enjoying a renaissance not yet visible in many other communities, along Main Street, USA. The
freshly renovated Lerner Theatre and a host of new eateries have done more for the heart of the city
than merely improve the streetscape. Through the years, however, one landmark has remained a
veritable anchor of our downtown, our community, and a reflection of what was once, Main Street,
USA.
Stephenson’s of Elkhart, opened its doors in 1931, an exclusive, appointment-only dress shop,
catering primarily to the privileged ladies of Michiana. Through the decades, Stephenson’s has
grown to serve the fashion and apparel needs of women of all ages and budgets. Offerings range
from casual to career, with an emphasis on special occasion. Styles are handpicked in New York’s
Fashion District by a locally based buying team that keeps a finger on the pulse of the cutting edge
fashion world, but a foot squarely rooted in Elkhart’s Main Street.
Key to Stephenson’s appeal is the store’s unique size and structure, in today’s vastly divergent retail
landscape. As store principal Daniel Reynolds put it, “We’re small enough to offer one on one, first
name basis, superior customer service, yet large enough to offer the best selection of the world’s top
fashion designers.”
Rosanne Cumella, Senior Vice President of New York’s The Doneger Group, the fashion industry’s
largest buying and trend forecasting office, put it this way, “Stephenson’s is a highly respected retailer
in the fashion industry with an impeccable reputation as a heritage company. Their commitment
to customer service and satisfaction is unparalleled in the current retail landscape. Stephenson’s
impressive history has proven to be the ‘gold standard’ of the specialty retail business.”
The advent of shopping malls, mail order catalogs, and the most recent online shopping boom, have
threatened – and in many cases endangered – “brick and mortar” retailers across the land. An emphasis
on a level of service not attainable by any of the above “category killers” has been the key to
Stephenson’s continued growth and success. An unwavering attention to these details is likely to ensure
that future generations of Michiana shoppers will continue to enjoy the “gold standard” of the specialty
store, right here in Elkhart. The anchor of traditional specialty retail is right here, on Main Street, USA.

The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is in the extra. I believe it is this
extra that has allowed Linton’s Enchanted Gardens to have been chosen by The Elkhart
Truth readers as being the areas Best Landscaping And Garden Centre, Best Florist, and
a Best Place To Buy A Last Minute Gift! Each team member at Linton’s strives to take
that extra step to give every customer a pleasant and memorable experience. We are truly
blessed to have a highly-skilled, and dedicated team that shares my vision to exceed our
guests expectations. The Linton’s team takes great pride in their work. Whether they
are working in our garden centre, on our landscaping and nursery crew, a floral designer,
delivery driver, customer service associate, or in the Corporate office, each member of the
Linton team is an integral part of making us the Best. It is our extraordinary people that
set us apart!
This year we celebrate 32 years of service to the Michiana area. Each and every year we
continue to raise our own bar, and continue to offer additional rare and unusual plants,
fabulous floral and gifts, unique furniture and home decor, and spectacular lawns and
landscapes! We continue to look forward to the future, for we know that our BEST years
are yet to come!

is very honored to take this Best award again this year! Thank you Elkhart County!!!
“This certainly is overwhelming! Once again, we are very humbled and
honored to be awarded The Elkhart Truth’s 2014 BEST jewelry store of
Elkhart County for the FOURTH straight year!” said John Sorg, President
of Sorg Jewelers. “This award is a true testament not just about us,
but also about our community and how they have embraced us with
their long standing trust in Sorg Jewelers.” added John. “Four-peat…
that’s tremendous!” said Darin Sorg, Vice-President. “Winning four times in a row at anything is
extremely difficult. Thanks to all who voted for us! Our caring sales staff and goldsmith department
pride themselves in delivering the best experience, craftsmanship, knowledge, service and gifts to
our clients. Within ourselves, we recognize the fact that this award and title wasn’t just earned
overnight. In business for 114 years and four generations - we celebrate this award with our families,
our staff, our current clients as well as the new clients that have yet to experience the exceptional
service of Sorg Jewelers and what we can do for them!”, added Darin.
What started as one man’s passion has turned into a family’s tradition. Sigmund Sorg founded Sorg
Jewelers in 1900 in Roanoke, Illinois. Second generation sons, Sidney, Earl, Nelson and Richard
carried on the business for decades. Now third and fourth generation Sorg’s are in charge of the
storied family business that has been in Elkhart County since the late 1920’s. John Sorg (Sidney’s
son) is President and Darin Sorg (John’s son) is Vice - President. They carry on the tradition and
legacy of trust, high ethical standards, knowledge, fair pricing and value through their two stores.
It is a simple, yet crucial formula for the stores’ success. Everything else builds from those five
important keys. The staff at Sorg’s feel that their attentive, superior service and their consistency in
their high quality of jewelry are some main reasons that keeps clients coming back, generation after
generation – now for over 114 years.
In addition to their longevity in business and being awarded Elkhart County’s BEST jewelry store
(four years straight), Sorg Jewelers separates themselves from the rest with their membership in the
highly accredited American Gem Society (AGS), which has rigorous standards that must be met for
membership. The AGS is an organization consisting of the most elite jewelry stores in the United
States and Canada that are reviewed and re-tested annually. As Elkhart County’s only AGS member,
Sorg’s responsibilities are to be knowledgeable, protect consumers from fraudulent pricing and
deceitful business practices. Clients must be able to depend on someone they can trust – and Sorg’s
is it!

voted BEST in Elkhart County
13 times!
Twenty years have gone by since I started my agency right here in Elkhart, Indiana. This is the
community in which I grew up; my family is here, my church is here, my friends are here. Because
of this combination, I do much more than live in this community—I value it. The Elkhart community
gives back like no other, and I am so proud to give back to many of our local organizations. I am a
member of the Elkhart Noon Optimist Club, a past board member of Michiana Crime Stoppers and
an avid supporter and promoter of Big Brothers, Big Sisters, Toys for Tots, as well as the Little
House that Ben Built. Alongside my commitment to my community, is my commitment to education.
I am an alumus of a local college, Bethel, and have mentored various students around the Elkhart
community. On many weekends, you can see my cheering on my grandson at the Elkhart Spots
Center, as well cheering on many high school sports teams.
Billings Funeral Home voted BESTin Elkhart County 13 times! The Billings family
has served the greater Elkhart community for over sixty years in care giving
capacities, and we intend to continue for many years to come. Upon being voted
‘BEST’ during TheTruth’s annual spring contest for the thirteenth year by its
readers, our vision at the funeral home is to continue building lasting relationships
with families. We become so involved in such a critical and sensitive time in people’s
lives, that true friendships are formed between us all. We believe that each passing
person deserves respectful reflection on the uniqueness that he or she has brought
to the lives of family members and friends. This reflection lends to healthy family
healing as you together take a moment to reflect on the good times, chuckle at
the challenging times, and pay tribute to a person that leaves behind an important
legacy for the family to pass forward.Our personalized services begin with our
compassionate and trained staff of Funeral Directors, Preplanning Advisor and After
Care Specialist housed in up-to-date, warm and comfortable spaces that include
chapels, lounges, and offices. We are here to help all faiths paint the canvas of your
loved one’s life to reflect on the beautiful memories and significant contributions that
he or she made. “Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it
were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love.” MonetVeterans
too, will realize the honor and respect we hold for our homegrown and national
heroes with package options that will pay tribute in just the right way. Close to our
hearts here at Billings is the act of retiring United States flags the dignified way
while honoring a veteran. Is it time to dispose of your tattered flags and replace
them with new ones? If you bring in torn or faded flags, we will see that every
veteran that chooses cremation will be cremated with an American flag. We welcome
you to drop off your flag/s Monday through Friday between 8 am and 4 pm and hope
you find this a convenience. We pride ourselves on always being one of the most
reasonably priced funeral homes in the area, although many expect our charges to be
much higher given our level of professionalism, the quality of our facilities, and our
ethical standards.
My team members and I work hard to give clients remarkable service. If the usual 9-5 schedule
doesn’t fit your routine, you can call our local number and talk to a real person from State Farm
regarding your claims and services-- 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. With social
media affecting our lives more than ever, you can also check us out on Facebook or my personal
website, [email protected]. And, as always, you can visit us over on Middlebury Street
right across from the old Rainbo Bowling Alley. We are here six days a week, along with the help
of our twelve year old bull terrier, Yenko. (He’s been our assistant since his puppy days!) We are
dedicated, committed and enthusiastic to give you personalized and individualized help with all your
insurance needs.

Center For Hospice Care

(574) 264-3321
Center for Hospice Care is honored to be your first choice in hospice care. Last year, we cared for
1,993 patients, the most we have cared for in our 33-year history. Mission-driven quality care,
remarkable clinical skills capacity, and a focus on charity are the hallmarks of Center for Hospice
Care and its Hospice Foundation. Today, with 221 professional staff and 500 devoted volunteers, we
believe there is no other local organization more proficient or more experienced at providing high
quality, patient and family-centered care at the end of life.
In 2013, Center for Hospice Care became a Level Four “We Honor Veterans” partner. To reach
this highest pinnacle level, we focused on increasing access to and improving the quality of
care Veterans received throughout our eight-county service area by increasing the integration of
Veteran-specific education for staff and volunteers, evaluating and growing our Veteran-to-Veteran
Volunteer Program, developing resources to help our Veterans and their families’ access benefits and
implement better ways to improve care and service to veterans and their families throughout our
organization. Nationally, there are nearly 2,000 “We Honor Veterans” hospice program partners and
at the time of CHC’s designation, only 96 have achieved Level 4. “We Honor Veterans” is a national
hospice provider awareness program conducted by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the
National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization.
During 2013 Center for Hospice Care recruited 71 new dedicated, trained community volunteers,
bringing the total of active volunteers to 500. Volunteer hours totaled 17,310, saving our agency
$402,413. Our dedicated volunteers drove 42,599 miles to serve our patients and families. We
encourage you to join our devoted volunteer team.
If you haven’t yet seen our Elkhart Hospice House and office, please call us at 1-800-HOSPICE to
schedule a tour of our facility and beautiful grounds. We are very proud of our Elkhart Campus and
honored to care for those patients and families who choose Center for Hospice Care for high quality,

with just $35 in a 300-square-feet corner in the Miles Corporation plant in Elkhart, Ind. The seven
original founders had a vision of something more when they each invested $5 a share into the idea of
cooperative financial services.
In 1976, recognizing the need to grow in order to meet the expanding needs of our members, the credit
union moved to a 4,000-square-feet facility on Beardsley Avenue in Elkhart. In 1988, our space underwent
a major renovation that added another 16,000 square feet to that building.
In 2005, we moved into our newly constructed corporate office in downtown Elkhart. While this spacious
new building is currently 40,000 square feet, the credit union has long-term plans to expand the four-story
building to nearly 80,000 square feet as the needs of our members grow.
Today, we are proud to accommodate more than 500 companies and over 29,000 members with branches
in three states. In addition, we have 5000 service centers and 35,000 free ATMs nationwide, online
banking, and electronic bill pay for even greater convenience. “The vision that started our credit union
over 70 years ago is the same one we focus on today: our members come first. We’re committed to giving
them nothing less than excellent financial benefits and outstanding customer service,” concludes Bergl.

How to Choose the Right Carwash:
Not all carwashes are created equal, says Tehrani, President of Drive & Shine chain of locally
owned carwashes.
“Most carwashes are less than 80 feet long and have $100,000 worth of wash equipment. Our
carwashes are 200 feet long and include up to $1 million dollars in wash equipment alone,” he says.
“What that means for the customer is a non-compromising carwash that cleans every corner of the
vehicle to perfection and bone-dries the car.”
Smaller carwash tunnels rely on aggressive cloth material to create extra friction for cleaning, which
will leave small swirl-type scratches on the car’s painted surface.
“These washes also use strong acids as soap to compensate for lack of necessary wash equipment
needed to get the car washed safely,” Tehrani says. “These acids are so strong that they gradually
remove the clear coat off the paint, making your car dull forever.”
The acids also etch the windshield, decay rubber components of the vehicle and are dangerous to
breathe. Hydrofluoric acid (HF) is most commonly used in small carwash tunnels. The Material
Safety Data Sheet lists HF as poisonous and corrosive. The sad thing is that this acid makes its way
back to our natural resources.
Instead choose a carwash that has long tunnels with lots of equipment and that uses no cloth on any
of the rotational cleaning unit.
“At Drive & Shine, we use as much as four times the amount of carwash equipment compared to the
shorter carwash tunnels, making it unnecessary to rely on strong acids such as HF or aggressive
cloth to clean cars,” Tehrani says.
“We got into the carwash business because we love cars and we wanted a safe place to clean our
own cars,” he says. “To make the wash much safer, Drive & Shine uses a foam-like material instead
of cloth. It is so soft that it cannot ever scratch a car.”
Protect your vehicle by detailing the inside of your car at least once a year and waxing the
outside every three months. Wax acts as a barrier to the harsh elements your car comes in contact
with.

Creative Solutions by Julie Howard has been servicing the Elkhart and surrounding areas
for 22 years. When Julie quit her office job in real estate, her hobby turned into a career. The business benefited from knowing how critical budget and deadlines are. The “creative”
in the business name is a bonus; our strength lies in the physical labor and services
provided in the “solutions” aspect. We have established a flawless reputation. In addition,
our flexibility and dependability are priceless to our customers.
We offer free estimates for our services, specializing in residential painting. We have built
fair estimates based on job requirements and timeliness. We leave our clients smiling and
in turn word of mouth has been the catalyst of our success. We solve problems and clean
up the mess when we are done.
