Opening of Scranton Great Department Store Set For Evening
The proprietors of Scranton's Great Department Store invite the public to attend the grand opening. Jonas Long founded the Wilkes-Barre firm in 1860 and his successors have grown the business into a 45 department, customer friendly establishment praised for fair pricing, accurate quoting, and a strong guarantee. Entertainment will be provided and shopping will be streamlined by a Pneumatic Cash Carrier and Transfer System for single settlements across departments.
