A lady wrote to me, quoting, "I recently purchased an antique pie safe from an auction. When I began getting it ready to refinish I found written inside on the side wall - H. Bros, Carlinville, IL. I would like to find out who owned the business. I wasn't able to find anything upon looking in this site. But not knowing what the H may have stood for has made it harder to look. Could you steer me in a direction to look or possibly you are aware of the furniture stores that were in Carlinville so long ago. Any information would be greatly appreciated." I told her that I think it is for Heinz Bros Furniture and it is still in Carlinville. Anyone with different knowledge of other furniture stores of "so long ago?" Thank you. gloria
