Does anyone know where FW Woolworth got the first christmas decorations from. It is beleived that he introduced them to America in 1890. Did he travel to Europe at all.

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 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. 82.29.215.250 14:07, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

brother?

I read in World Book that he founded Woolworth with his brother Charles 1856-1947, why no mention here?
