I love the drawings! And they were advertising a showroom! But for a very small town business, it probably didn't matter whose name came first. But I guess that remains to be seen. ..
As I'm seeing these ads run month after month, it looks like they've finally settled on "Lee & Bruce." Maybe they flipped a coin.
