As renovations begin at 403 N. Main, workers have uncovered a memorable name from Bonham's past -- Leatherwood Men's Wear.

Claude Leatherwood operated Leatherwood Men's Wear from 1935 until his death in 1965. A member of one of Bonham's most prominent families, Leatherwood was president of Bonham Chamber of Commerce when General Cable Corp. came to Bonham and he was one of the founding members of Bonham Industrial Foundation.
