FRANK WYNN

STATIONERY & MUSIC STORE

Among the leading business enterprises of Lykens that have been developed from a very small beginning is the stationery and music store of Frank Wynn. It was started by Mr. Wynn about nine years ago, and has been conducted by him since with ever-increasing success. Five years ago he greatly increased his stock and patronage by buying out A. C. Long, and has continued to grow and expand until today the place is called among the borough’s most prosperous establishments. Here may be seen a fine assortment of stationery, office and school supplies, all the latest popular airs of the day in sheet music, as well as all the daily and Sunday metropolitan newspapers, magazines, illustrated class weeklies, books and cheap popular literature, and local and foreign souvenir post cards in endless variety. Daily and Sunday routes are covered, and customers can, if desired have their newspapers delivered at their homes at no additional charge. Readers of the Standard will find the facilities of Mr. Wynn for supplying reading matter to be of the best possible character catered to, and the large patronage catered to, much of which has been steady for years, is an indication that progressive tactics, promptness and reliability are characteristics which are appreciated. Mr. Wynn is a native of Lykens, and has grown up with the borough. He enjoys a high standing among the wide-awake and energetic business men, and deserves the highest commendation for the success he has achieved.
