Lea Bros. Store
Discontinues Business
Lea Bros. Store in Washington discontinued business Sat urday after serving the town 38 years. The business was first opened here January 6, 1928 by T. C. Lea and at that time was located on the corner where the Washington Cash store is now. In 1935 the present building was constructed on the corner of Gay and Jett Streets by Mr. Lea and he continued to operate it until his death in 1957. At this time Mrs Lea continued the business until 1964 when she sold out to her 6on T. Carlyle Lea, Jr. for health reasons. The young Mr. Lea, who is an attorney and Judge of Rappahannock County Court, discontinued the business last week because of conflict with his judicial duties and law practice. At one time there were five Lea Bros, stores in dfferent parts of the state. With the closing of the store here, there is one remaining in operation at Massies Mill, Virginia.
