$10,000 - $15,000
Ranley from Salt Lake City brought in a pair of unusual documents with a connection to his family, as well as to an important event in Mormon history. The first is a textile advertisement for the Johnson & Blake Emporium. Johnson was a prominent Mormon family, and the Johnson half of the Johnson & Blake merchants was Ranley's great-grandfather.
