Photo of Mr. Robert E. Lee next to the sign for Robert E. Lee Hardware.

His son, Bob Lee writes, "My dad, Robert E. Lee, opened that store in 1954. I was 10 years old at the time. The original location was on 202 next to Eddie's Barber Shop and Weisbaum's drug store. About 10 years later we relocated to the Village Mart across from The Kingswood Apartments. Dad retired in 1979 and sold the business. It remained open for another couple of years and closed for good. "

Hi Michael,
My mother never threw anything away. I found some newspapers (King of Prussia Courier) with these advertisements. One is from October 12, 1967 and the other is April 15, 1965.

Take care,
Bob Lee
