“I have to find a balance<br />
between managing the<br />
business and taking care of<br />
children. I have to use creativity<br />
and business sense<br />
and find time to concentrate<br />
on each.”<br />
Chesbro has just recently<br />
moved from Central<br />
Avenue to 158 Lake Shore<br />
Drive East in Dunkirk and<br />
is planning a grand opening<br />

Judy Hilliker, the proprietor<br />
of Hae Jude custom<br />
signs and apparel located<br />
on 344 Central Ave. in<br />
Silver Creek, has been in<br />
business since 1994. She<br />
has expanded her business<br />
over the last 18 years,<br />
starting out at home and<br />
later renting a store front.<br />
Now she owns her store.<br />
Like other businesses,<br />
she singled out the hours<br />
necessary to run a business<br />
as a challenge. She<br />
said, “You live at your<br />
business, and can’t take<br />
time off whenever you<br />
want.”<br />
Another challenge is to<br />
diversify the business<br />
enough so that it can succeed,<br />
and keep up with<br />
trends. For example, while<br />
she has a store she also<br />
makes sales on line.<br />
Hilliker offers a wide<br />
variety of products for<br />
business and advertising<br />
needsaswellasforindividuals.<br />
She can help a<br />
business create a logo and<br />
then use that logo effectively<br />
on products such as<br />
business cards. She can<br />
create custom T shirts.<br />
She does election signs as<br />
well as more permanent<br />
signs and plaques such as<br />
carbon signs with gold leaf<br />
which, she explained, are<br />
popular with both busi-<br />

In addition she can do<br />
screen printing, and has<br />
expanded into digital<br />
printing. She has a full<br />
color printer with a 64-<br />
inch format so she can create<br />
full color signs on canvas.<br />
In spite of the work, she<br />
too loves what she does.<br />
“My business is more personal.<br />
I am a people person<br />
and I like to talk to my<br />
customers and find out<br />
what they like.”<br />
Hard work, personalized<br />
service, and community<br />
commitment are the<br />
ingredients that go into<br />
our area’s successful businesses.<br />
Community support<br />
is necessary to keep<br />
them successful.<br />
