Ma Leck was a woodcrafting business that Leck Helms, his wife Mary and brother Bernard started in about 1950. At first Mr. Helms envisioned using local craftsmen to build simple country furniture. His most successful product during the startup years was a child's round wooden swing seat. Building on that success Helms built a factory to manufacture wooden decorative items on US 74 just past the Western town limits of Wingate, North Carolina. Business flourished in the 1960's and the lines were expanded to include clocks, serving pieces, cookware, candles and brass. In the 1970's the factory was expanded to meet the increasing demand for Ma Leck products. Separate facilities were built in Wingate and Marshville to produce different items. Ma Leck was one of the most profitable woodcraft manufacturing companies in the nation. - nawcc.
