About The Bruynswick Store Company

The Bruynswick Store was originally incorporated on October 29, 1915. The directors were J. William S. Cox from Wallkill, New York, and James E. Taylor and Warren A. Schenck, both from New York City.

We invite you to come in and browse around for delicious raw honey made here at the Roosa Bee Farm, honey sticks, natural beeswax candles including pillars, tapers, votives, and church candles, Skidmore's beeswax products such as Leather Cream, Waterproofing, and Liquid Beeswax Sealer, and great gifts for all occasions. You'll find yourself stepping back to a time when the local General Store carried the quality products you trusted, products made from the finest materials available. The Bruynswick Store offers wholesale pricing to qualified buyers. For more information, click here.
