I can't believe that there are so many people out there with pictures from the James Lee Co. of Chicago and yet no one has any idea about this company or its existence. I believe that someone out there does know, so please help me and those other people looking for the same information. Thank You!!

I, too, am looking for some information about a picture that was my grandmother's, titled-"Bringing Home Papa". I knew this company had to be located in Chicago somewhere because my grandmother did her shopping there for her home located in Hudson, Illinois. My print is from 1906. If you know anything about the co. or where I can get info, let me know.
