Reply re decorations etc: There is an extensive archive of information about Franklin Woolworth and the development of the stores on the company history web site run by the United Kingdom Woolworths company - and a whole web page tells the story of how he got involved in selling decorations. Take a look at [http://museum.woolworths.co.uk/ Woolworths Museum Web Site] and then select "Christmas" in the menu at the top, and then "Decorations" on the page that that link leads to. If you navigate around that site, you will also find the story of FWW's journeys to Europe, and how the stores came to be set up in the UK.
