Soti nan Achiv yo: Atik Mwa a pa Elwyn
1902 Letter from John Wanamker
Elwyn's archives offer a fascinating glimpse into the organization's long history and its connections to prominent businesses of the early 20th century. This April 26, 1902, letter from retailer John Wanamaker to Elwyn Superintendent Dr. Martin W. Barr concerns a missing shipment of pencils and reflects the everyday business relationships that helped support Elwyn's operations.
John Wanamaker founded his retail business in 1861 and later established Philadelphia's iconic Wanamaker's Department Store, a landmark that became famous for its grand architecture and the beloved Wanamaker Organ and annual Christmas Light Show. Today, the historic building at 13th and Market Streets remains a Philadelphia landmark.
While the letter addresses a simple supply order, it serves as a reminder that even routine correspondence can help tell the story of Elwyn's enduring place in the history of the Philadelphia region.
