These boxes were produced by the Pyrography Art Company. The factory was located
in Forreston and made burnt wood decorative boxes. A new factory was built in 1912, and later occupied by Beebe Seed
and a bowling alley.
What is interesting is that Forreston was one of the few companies that stamped their
name on the bottom or inside of the boxes.
