Heath-Lee Hardware Store, circa 1910. Franklin Street, Monroe, NC
As of 1902, this was not only the largest single mercantile business in Union county, but one of the largest of its kind in the State. The business was begun in 1887 as Heath Hardware Co., but in 1900 became the Heath-Lee Hardware Company, with Capt. W.C. Heath - president; Mr. W. S. Lee - general manager; and Mr. C. F. Lowe - secretary. (per by Stack and Beasley, 1902)
