I have four pillow cases or pictures made by them in 1889. I cannot find any info on them and I very curious to know exactly what they are. They came from my Great grandma's house and they are very precious to me. I would really like to know some history on them. One is a girl with a chicken, one is little red riding hood, one is Christopher Columbus and the other one is three teenage sisters dressed in victorian looking dresses.

Hi! As I cannot find anything definitive other than examples of their products, it appears they were a 19th to early 20th c. fabric printing house that specialized in doing popular designs well as advertising illustrations on textiles. Look:
