E.P. Robins, Books and Stationery
[Souvenir of the Town of Welland, Issued August 22, 1902 by the Welland Telegraph, Sears & Sawle, Publishers]
According to the juvenile’s theory, in response to a school teacher’s query, “readin’, wrtin’ an’ ‘rithmetic,” were the three fundamental principles of education. Other than the elementary instruction, these same practical principles can, in a measure, be evoked from the establishment of Mr. E.P. Robins, located in the Opera House block, East Main Street, and which is in succession to Mr. O.H. Garner, who relinquished his interest therein to Mr. Robins something over four years ago. Mr Robins can supply not only the necessary text books and school supplies, but the reading and writing materials, as well as stationery of all kinds, including pads and writing tablets.
To properly describe the store would be a duplication of Vanity Fair itself, for Mr. Robins not only deals in bound educational chunks, such as text books, but other literature of perhaps a more pleasing variety, including the latest novels and bound historical and biographical works, together with all the leading periodicals and magazines, weekly and monthly. In addition thereto Mr Robins deals in musical merchandise, and musical text books and compositions, also toys, art novelties and bric-a-brac galore, beside a hundred and one other equally as useful articles and as pleasing to patrons. To top off with, Mr. Robins carries as fine and varied a line of wall papers as can be found anywhere in this section. In fact, there is not a person of any age, or of either sex, but that would feel a pang of pleasure in dropping a little spare change in this modern Vanity Fair, and feel well repaid otherwise, at an inspection of the premises.
