West Penn Today - We move on!

[Fred W. Schneider III]

CLAY BOOK STORE, 2450 W MAIN ST, EPHRATA PA 17522.  717 733 7253.  Clay is a
small village on US route 322 in Lancaster County, perhaps 6 or 7 miles west
north west of the Borough of Ephrata.  It's one hellish long rural delivery
route!   Very nice people. Primarily a religious book store, they do have the
largest and cheapest collection of maps in this county.
