If that does not work, then possibly manipulationg the brightness, contrast, colrs or hues with a Photo program, may be the uncertain letters into view. Also, look on the back of the Medal itself as much of the time, the Manufacturer will stamp or engrave their&#039; name or logo there. The problem that you may find, is that the Medal and the Ribbon were made by two different Companies! </p><p><br /></p><p>You are probably right, it probably is the Company or person that manufactured the ribbon! However, the Company probably no longer exists, making finding any information on it almost impossible. If you got the letters correct, I could find only one mention of a Emil Zothe (which may have been the name of the owner of the Company) on the Web. The resource gives an Obituary of a Julia L. Zothe on December 6, 1919, wife of Emil Zothe in Pennsylvania. If this the same Emil Zothe, then at least he lived in or had a Company in the same State as where the Turnfest was held!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The Other, Other Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
