LEA'S FURNITURE EMPORIUM
No. 303 West Main Street
Mr. J.M. Lea, the proprietor of this establishment, began business one year ago the first of the present month, and has met with flattering success. From a small stock and limited quarters, his trade has steadily increased until he found it necessary to rent a large storeroom on Main street, and he now carries a full line of furniture, queensware, and other goods properly belonging to his line of business. Mr. Lea's success has been due no doubt in a great measure to giving it his personal and undivided attention.
The present year Mr. Lea proposes to manufacture the more common furniture, such as bedsteads, plain tables, sofas, etc.
