BUSINESS MEMO: LEE-ROWEN LINE TO LOWE'S

A full line of Lee-Rowan products is available at the Lowe's Home Center, 3440 Lowe's Drive in the Cape West Business Park.

Lee-Rowan, a manufacturer of wire and wood storage and organization products at it Jackson facility, received a major contract from Lowe's Distribution Center at Mount Vernon, Texas, which services the local Lowe's store.

The Cape Girardeau Lowe's Center has always carried a few items from Lee-Rowan, but this week was set up with an 88-foot display of the Lee-Rowan products.

"We're pleased that our products have come home," said Pat Gillian, Lee-Rowan vice president of operations.

Lee-Rowan last week held an in-store training session with Lowe's store employees.

Lee-Rowan, a major manufacturer in Southeast Missouri, employs almost 1,000 people at its Jackson facility. The company has additional facilities in Fenton, Mo., Memphis, Tenn., Vista, Calif., and Watford, Ontario.
