ber here. We do a lot of
repeat business,” she said.
Gabel Brothers began in
1954 when Hubbard’s dad
and uncle began the business.
The business passed
to her and her brother.
Now she and her husband
own it. Their son who has
just graduated from college
is now working in the
business and will be the
third generation.
Hubbard said one of the
challenges of owning a
business is the time
involved. “I spend a lot of
time at the business. We
are open six days a week.
A person owning a business
has to be focused and
willing to work.”
Yet she loves the business.
“I continue because
it’s all I’ve ever done. I
want to make my dad
proud that we’re carrying
on a tradition.”

The Creation Station at
260 Central Ave. in Silver
Creek is a newer business
that is both a stained glass
studio and a retail gift
shop. The business concentrates
on items made in
America. It started about
eight years ago. Cyndy
Gailey said it is a family
business for which she, her
mother, and her son work.
Stained glass works of art
as well as beach glass
items are for sale. Classes
are offered, and in addition
studio space is rented
out to those who need a
place to work.
Gailey is excited
because she recently got a
commission to make two
big stained glass windows
for SUNY Fredonia which
should bring more attention
to her work.
Concerning challenges
for a small business, she
said, “The big challenge is
trying to get people to
come in. With the economy
now, things are a bit
better, but I will be running
a flea market to help
with the bills.”
When asked why she
continues with the business
Gailey joked, “If I
was home, I couldn’t stand
it. This is cheaper than
psychiatrists!”
Another newer business
is Jesse’s Toy Box at 53
West Main St. in
Gowanda. Dave Gabel and
his wife Sarah began in
2006 by selling and shipping
Jesse’s Toy Box
Wooden Railway products
from their basement. In a
few years, they found they
needed more space.
In May 2009, they
opened a retail store,
which allowed them to
expand and offer additional
product lines. While
they still ship their original
product, the store now
offers other products. The
goal of the business is to
offer unique and high quality
toys at a reasonable
price.
One challenge the
Gabels faced was a
byproduct of their success.
According to Dave his
business experienced rapid
growth and “when a business
is quickly growing,
capital can be a problem.”
He explained that lending
institutions will base cred-
Farrell’s wants to be your Dodge dealer
With the automotive
industry poised for growth,
2012 is looking to be a banner
year at Farrell Chrysler
Dodge Jeep Ram, Inc.
In 1969, Joe Farrell came
across an opportunity to
purchase a dealership in
Fredonia at 258 West Main
St. At the time Dudley
Motors occupied the building,
which was a Ford dealership.
As soon as Joe
Farrell assumed ownership,
it became a Dodge dealer.
Over time, Mr. Farrell was
awarded the Chrysler and
Imperial franchises,
AMC/Renault, and finally
Jeep.
Since opening in 1969,
Mr. Farrell has made it
clear to each and every
employee that the main
focus of the business
should be to ensure that
customers would be treated
to an experience that is second
to none. Respect, honesty
and quality of service
would be hallmarks of the
dealership.
At Farrell’s, they understand
that if it weren’t for
the customer, they would
not be in business.
Therefore, their goal is to
ensure that customers’
needs are met and that they
are completely satisfied,
every time they leave, bar
none! They don’t just want
to gain a customer, but a
friend as well!
As we look ahead,
Farrell’s is very excited
about what the future holds.
Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and
Ram engineers have revised
virtually the entire line-up
of vehicles making them
fresh, exciting and innovative.
They are focusing on
making vehicles people
aspire to own, such as the
all-new and award-winning
2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee,
2012 Dodge Durango, 2012
Dodge Charger and 2012
Chrysler 300. Over the next
few years, the products that
the Chrysler group will be
bringing out will be nothing
but the best and unlike anything
they’ve ever had.
The first all new product
born from the union of
Chrysler Group and parent
company, the Fiat, is Dodge
Dart. The Dart will be arriving
at Farrell’s dealership
this summer and will most
assuredly take the small car
market by storm. The
Dodge Dart shares its DNA
with the much-awarded
Italian smash hit, the Alfa
Romeo Giulietta. The

styling is unmistakably
Dodge, featuring a bold
interpretation of Dodge’s
trademark cross-hair grille
as well as LED “race-track”
rear taillights. The interior
oozes refinement enhanced
by a padded, faux-leather
wrapped instrument brow,
available heated steering
wheel and seats, and a best
in class 8.4” multi-media
screen encompassing all
radio, climate and nav functions
into one efficient unit.
The Dart will showcase
powertrain technologies
that set the stage for future
Chrysler Group products
including an ultra-efficient
1.4 litre turbocharged,
multi-air 4cylinder and a
Dodge First: a dual, dry
clutch automatic transmission.
Stay tuned!
This is just the beginning
of a product onslaught that
is guaranteed to redefine
the standards in every category
of vehicles. In the
meantime, come and see
their friendly, helpful sales
staff, knowledgeable fivestar
service department and
skilled, certified auto body
technicians for all of your
automotive needs. They
look forward to serving
you!
