Collection: Watt & Shand Collection

Title: Watt & Shand Collection

Description: The Watt & Shand Collection contains materials related to the Watt & Shand Department Store in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.; Series 1 includes employee handbooks, job description, beauty salon price list, bridal registry information, a history of the store, a Christmas catalog, a Historic Preservation Trust calendar, and children's books.; Series 2 is a record of the property at the downtown location and at Park City Mall beginning in 1880 with deeds, legal agreements, a building inspector's permit, and insurance policies.

Admin/Biographical History: On 22 February 1878, Peter Watt, James Shand and Gilbert Thompson advertised the opening of a new store, The New York Store, featuring new lines of foreign and domestic dry goods as well as fancy goods and notions. The New York Store opened on 9 March 1878 and was an immediate success focusing on customer service. The owners had an unwritten policy stating that they remained open until the last customer left. During that first year, partner Gilbert Thompson died. Watt and Shand purchased a building located at 8-10 East King Street and changed their name from The New York Store to Watt, Shand and Company. Then during 1885, the store name was shortened to Watt & Shand even though the business was expanding to acquire 6 East King Street. The Ladies' Ready-To-Wear Department was added in 1889 which included coats, suits, dresses, and underwear. The owners proceeded to expand the business over several decades and procured Appel & Weber jewelry store and Hager's Department Store during the 1950s and 1960s. The branch store opened in 1970 at Park City Mall. The Bon-Ton Stores purchased Watt & Shand in 1992 and the store officially closed in March of 1995

Alternate Title: Thirty thousand miles with John Heckewelder; Travels amoung the Indians of Pennsylvania, New York, & Ohio in the 18th century; Travels among the Indians of Pennsylvania, New York, & Ohio in the 18th century

Responsibility: edited by Paul A. W. Wallace.

ISBN: 1889037133

Author: Heckewelder, John Gottlieb Ernestus,

Place of Publication: Lewisburg, Pa

Publisher: Wennawoods Publishing,

Date of Publication: 1998.

Physical Description: xvii, 474 p., [9] leaves of plates : ill., maps ; 24 cm. + 1 folded map (38 cm. x 58 cm.)

Notes: Reprint. Originally published: Pittsburgh, Pa. : University of Pittsburgh Press, 1958.; This is number 532 of 1000 copies printed.; Includes bibliographical references and index.

Summary: "John Heckewelder was one of the most active and observant American travellers in the eighteenth century. His extensive journeys through our eastern woods in the service of the Moravian Church and, at times, of the government of the United States, have been preserved for us in a number of superb travel journals. Hitherto these either have lain unseen in manuscript collections or, if published, have appeared disconnectedly, so that few readers have suspected how engrossing they are and how illuminative of our early history when read as a continuous narrative." [from the foreward]

Subjects: Heckewelder, John Gottlieb Ernestus, - 1743-1823 - Journeys.; Indians of North America.; Moravians; Pennsylvania - Description and travel - Personal narratives.; New York - Description and travel - Early works to 1800.; Ohio - Description and travel - Early works to 1800.
