Handcrafted in America 2016 www.byerschoice.com The Byers’ Choice Story It was the late 1960’s and Joyce Byers, an amateur artist with a degree in fashion design, was disappointed in what she was seeing in the stores: aluminum tinsel trees with garish blue lights. She was looking for holiday decorations with warmth that showed respect for timeless traditions and her own memories of Christmas. The first Carolers graced the Byers’ dining room table that Christmas, and they received compliments from all of the relatives. On a tight budget, Joyce knew what to make for presents the following year. A neighbor suggested taking some to a local store, where they sold quickly. The store was part of a federation of Woman’s Exchanges and introduced the Carolers to other exchanges around the country. Soon a couple of dozen stores around the country were asking Joyce to supply them with Carolers. Joyce pressed her husband, Bob, and their two sons into service to help produce the figures each autumn. It wasn’t long before the Carolers overwhelmed the dining room table, where the family gathered to work together. “Every year the house would be a total wreck, and I’d say that we’re never doing this again!” remembers Joyce. But when a downturn in the economy hurt his construction business, Bob looked around and saw some potential in the Carolers. He decided to devote more of his energies to the fledgling business, and in 1978, the couple hired their first employee, and turned the garage into a workshop. The unique appearance and handcrafted quality of the Carolers quickly gained a following. Each year, Bob & Joyce would work with their crew of trained artisans up until Christmas Eve putting the finishing touches on Carolers. Byers’ Choice is dedicated to bringing you the finest handcrafted gifts. Every Caroler and Kindle is lovingly produced in our facility in Pennsylvania to bring the special warmth and traditions of Christmas into your home. The two sons joined the company upon graduating from college and have played an important role in the growth of the firm, with Bob working in production and Jeff helping with marketing and design. “We always say that mom’s hobby has gotten a little out of control,” jokes Jeff. Together, the family now oversees a team of 80 artisans in Pennsylvania who handcraft those same creations that started out on the dining room table many years ago. And although the Carolers are sold in thousands of fine gift stores around the world, the company still holds to its starting roots: producing a quality product, at an affordable price, and serving its customers and the community in the spirit of Christmas. “One of my favorite parts of any Christmas celebration was singing carols, and I thought, why not design carolers to use as Christmas decorations?” — Joyce Byers Phone: 215-822-6700 Fax: 215-822-3847 1 New!

New! #ORN16 The Belsnickel character originated in the Rhineland. When people immigrated to Pennsylvania, they brought their German traditions with them. Amongst the Pennsylvania Germans, Belsnickel is the character who visits homes prior to Christmas to check up on the behavior of the children. He often creates fright because he always knows exactly which of the children misbehaved. Although he may seem like a harsh character, the tradition of Belsnickel is an amusing one and rather benign. #BELRD Red Paper Mache Belsnickel (16” High) #BELGR Green Paper Mache Belsnickel (16” High) #BELCR Cream Paper Mache Belsnickel (16” High) #ORN16 Santa Caroler Ornament (8” High) 36 www.byerschoice.com The familiar storyline is that children who misbehaved would get a piece of coal from Santa instead of a treat in their stockings.
