SEEKS THE OWNER OF
5O,YEAR-OLD PICTURE
r. P. ToIIman Wants to Learn
History Of Painting He
Bought From Storage Co.

Who Is the original OF portrait of
handsome gentleman. of about middle
age. with a firm mouth and good eyes.
painted about 1860?
And who is the owner of the portrait?
This query has reached the Chamber
of Commerce. accompanied by a photo
graph OF the portrait. And the question
has been turned over to The Times.
r. = .Tollman sent the photograph to
the Chamber OF Commerce. He bought
the portrait, he said. from the Fidelity
Storage Company. for storage charges.
He has since become curious to learn
the original of the portrait, the owner,
and the artist.
The portrait was bought from the
Fidelity Storage Company, and inquiry
there revealed the fact that the picture
was originally brought to Washington
and turned over to them by a Mrs. r.
A. Wilkins, of Rosemont. Va. Since
that time, nothing has been head from
her.
Mr.. Tolman states he believes the por-
trait was painted by an artist by the
name OF Spencer.
Inquiry at Rosemont was fruitless,
and nothing could be learned Of Mrs.
