Butcher: Precious Moments growth planned

Precious Moments creator Sam Butcher told Chicago Daily Herald business writer Mike Comerford "Right now, we are focusing all our effort on building the infrastructure to service our accounts Â… We have faith in our work and we are concentrating all of our effort on growing this brand in the future."
Butcher, the artist who created the Precious Moments chapel in Carthage, was interviewed only a few weeks after his family-owned Precious Moments, Inc., worked out a deal with Enesco to take over the manufacturing and distribution of the figurines, which are based on Butcher's artwork.
Butcher, a former Carthage resident, told Comerford he has lived in thePhilippiness for the past six years. "I have been building a small resort by the sea on the island of Panay in thePhilippiness, just outside the town of Kalibo. I have a little studio out back facing the ocean and I spend my days painting murals, working on the resort and, of course, creating new Precious Moments artwork."
