Emil Wolnik's Color Slides from early 1950's

Emil Wolnik took these mostly Kodachrome slides in the early 1050's. Many of the photos were taken at the home of his parents, Joseph and Bernice, located at 9068 Grand Ave., Franklin Park, IL. This house was built in 1947 and they purchased it in 1950. Emil ran a TV and radio repair business out of the house. Emil also took many photos of his new car, a 1950 Nash Airflyte Statesman Super.
