DEATH OF F. W. WOOLWORTH
Head of Woolworth Stores Passes Away on
Tuesday of This Week
Frank W. Woolworth, head of the F. W.
Woolworth syndicate stores, died on Tuesday
morning of this week. Much of the credit for
the modern distribution of music was given to
Mr. Woolworth and he had music departments
installed in practically the majority of his stores.
At several periods in his lifetime it was sug-
gested that he make 15-cent departments of his
sheet music counters. This, however, he re-
fused to do, stating that as long as he lived the
Woolworth stores would be limited to 10-cent
sales as a maximum for any one article.
