How did ELMS Puzzles get its name and logo?
The beginning of the idea ELMS Puzzles began when Betsy, the late Elizabeth Lee McShane Stuart enjoyed wooden puzzles as a child with her uncle. Years later, she bought her husband, Fred Stuart, a saw thinking that he would like cutting them himself. He did not take to cutting puzzle pieces but she certainly did …. and 20 plus years later there are write ups in USA Today, The New Yorker, Boston Globe, People Magazine, to name only a few. TV interviews as well, have added to the charm of these one of a kind quality puzzles. ELMS are Betsy’s initials and an ELM tree appears on our boxes and in each puzzle.
