LH & LW split Brookneal Oil Co.

LH and LW split the company. LH assumes the oil business and—with his wife, Queenie “Inez” Foster—they continue to grow the business. LH & Inez have a son, LH Jr. Brookneal Oil becomes a consignee with Texaco (first Texaco consignee in the area).

One of the original trucks bought for the company is located in front of the Brookneal office today.
