The bookstore "Dovev Sifsei Yeshenim" was established by Lipa Schwager in Husiatyn in 1902. In 1906 he entered into partnership with R. David Fränkel. The store specialized in ancient Hebrew texts, and published detailed catalogues on a variety of subjects. This collection includes catalogues dedicated to manuscripts, Passover Haggadot, Kabbalistic books, prayerbooks and others, from 1902 to 1913.
