History
This was given to us by a friend who was helping his aunt move in Illinois. She was going to throw it away and he did not want it so we kept it to ensure it would not be destroyed. We could only find a little information on the paintings such as Turner Mfg Co. was based out of Chicago and was closed around 1975.
