(Leon Rhodes? Never heard of him. But this is the News, a paper not remarkable for its attention to detail; maybe the reporter heard someone say "Lee 'n' Rhodes" and thought that was one of the partners.)

Right next to an ad placed by his old partner, George Bruce!

So Mr. Rhodes has made his entrance. But that's a nice ad by Mr. Bruce--looks like he knew some the competition was coming.
(I like the ad by the House of Muscat--their motto--Live and let live???)
I guess the House of Muscat was trying to be the no-pressure furniture place, kind of like Carmax today advertising that "no haggle" policy.
I wonder what relations were like between the two ex-plumbing-partners? Friendly competitors, or hated each other's guts? :) We'll probably never know...
