Joseph Matukonis of Tamaqua, left, presented a 1940 portrait of Lansford's RosenauBrothers factory to Bill Harleman, president of the Lansford Historical Society, on Sunday. Matukonis said the photo belonged to his late mother, Stephanie Balowsky Matukonis, who collected antiques and vintage photos. Harleman said the photo is a welcome addition because it helps to illustrate the textile business and Lansford's early industrial base. Matukonis also donated a vintage coin bag from the Dime Bank.
