Sketches of John Jacob & Mary Jane (VANCE) WARWICK

We heard from a lady in California whose family has had two framed Sketches of John Jacob WARWICK and Mary Jane VANCE WARWICK that her husband's father had picked up at an auction. It has been hanging on their wall for 40 years or so and they are looking for some WARWICK family to sell it to.

"For those who never saw the Burma Shave signs, here is a quick lesson in our history of the 1930's and 1940's. Before the interstates, when everyone drove the old 2 lane roads, Burma Shave signs would be posted all over the countryside in farmers' fields. They were small red signs with white letters.
