Business gets new name

A downtown Van Wert business changed names earlier this spring, and just recently installed a new business sign. Jeffrey Perkins, formerly of Northwestern Mutual, is now owner and financial advisor at Perkins Financial Services. Still located at 103 E. Main St. Perkins offers clients a full range of financial services, including retirement planning, investment products, and life insurance. Perkins recently renewed his financial support of Main Street Van Wert to coincide with the installation of the new business sign. Shown in front of the Perkins Financial Services store front are MSVW Board Members Eric Hurless and Shelly Becker, Program Manager Adam Ries, Perkins and office manager Nikki Ebel. (photo submitted)
