Lawrence Store Sold Last Week to Syndicate Clothing Co
Lawrence's clothing business in Estherville changed hands last week as Hugh B. Lawrence sold the store to the Syndicate Clothing Company of Cedar Rapids. The firm, a large Iowa and Rochester NY affiliate, will run the Estherville store with Herman Graaf’s leaseholding building. Lawrence remains temporarily to wind down his other property and assist in the transfer. The sale marks the end of a near four-decade era dating to Hagle Clothing and later Graaf era. Lawrence is valued locally for public spirit and reliability, and his departure will be felt in business and social circles.
