Do you remember when you had to buy your own textbooks and notebooks for high school?

In Cornwall would-be scholars would make an annual trek to Kyte’s on Pitt Street, to meet their academic needs.

The history of Kyte’s has been lovingly told in Joan Levy-Earle’s book THE LEGACY OF CW KYTE, copies are available at the Museum’s bookroom for $20.
