"Another of Wooster's attractive and prosperous mercantile establishments is the City Book Store, situated first door east of the [[Citizens National Bank, The]], in the heart of Wooster's shopping district. In connection with books, stationery, office supplies, kodaks and photo supplies, pictures and picture framing, this store conducts a soda fountain in the rear, exclusive from the rest which enjoys a well deserved and growing patronage. A glance at the accompanying photograph will give you an idea as to its arrangement and equipment. <ref>Wooster Progress (1914). City Book Store.</ref>
