I wanted to write this book, not as a biography but as means of sharing my life experiences so that people can see how I have been successful and hope it will be beneficial to them. As detailed, I have practiced and applied various thoughts that I have learned from my years in business. I used simple phrases to develop my business such as, "if at first you don't succeed, try, try again," and also things like you can "figure it out with a hard pencil."I was blessed early in my life with a loving and caring family. A lot of people would say that my upbringing was strict. I would say not. I learned early in life that you had to work and I did not mind working and I thought everybody did it. My mother was a great inspiration and gave me the drive to succeed. She believed that education was what makes a difference. I never missed a day in school for twelve years. It was always a given that I would go to the university. I was fortunate to fall in love early with my wife Lynn and enjoyed 59 years of marriage. After my degree in business at UNC-Chapel Hill and my service as a naval officer, I was on my own and never worked for anyone. I started a business, encountered a lot of problems. I learned from the start and spent my life making things better, all the time learning and applying. This book, entitled "Win-Win" explains my business philosophy. At the end of the day what we need to succeed is to win-win.G. Leroy Lail, June 2020

In 1965, the Furniture Factories Marketing Association attempted to corral both the High Point and Hickory markets into opening at the same time in order to give no buyer an advantage on the new styles. Instead of encompassing two weekends by starting early and finishing late, the group of manufacturers in the association, set a firm April Monday morning in 1965 as the start of the spring market. High Point adhered. Both the Hickory Furniture Mart and the Hickory Home Furnishings Mart, stayed with the old schedule.

Since its construction, the Bost-Burrus house has always made a statement. By his own hands, Elias Bost took care and considerable skill to erect a home for his family, just down the road from where he helped built his family church. The exterior gave only a few clues to the craftsmanship inside, that only gained in appreciation as it passed down in the family from one generation to the next. Several additions have altered the look of the house but never its stature. Survival has not been easy for the structure. Built in the early decades of the 19th century, it barely stood by the early decades of the 21st. Only a massive effort to save it, a promise Leroy Lail made to his mother, rescued the house from falling down. Standing strong again, the images and stories associated with the house tell intriguing stories about the times and the struggles of its inhabitants. As one of Catawba County’s oldest homes, the images of the Bost-Burrus house contained within tell us fascinating stories of what it took to build, what it took to inhabit and what it took to preserve.”
