Frank Woolworth

Frank Woolworth never married. He wanted women to work with men at Woolworths. He wanted children to be able to afford the prizes of 5 and 10 cents. In my hometown of Woodhaven in Queens , NYC, Woolworth’s was my favorite store. A community store. Pharmacies were the same delightful community setting. Now we have the dollar store, merchandise for the poor, and their children.
