Paitson Bros.  started in 1922 when two of the five Paitson Brothers,  Bob & Stanley Paitson, opened a garage and service station at 15th & 1st Avenue in Terre Haute.  In 1928 they moved to 1200 Wabash Avenue and expanded into the hardware and heating business.  In 1941 the hardware operation moved to 1142 Wabash Avenue with the heating division remaining at 1200 Wabash.  

Bob's son Gene Paitson joined the business in 1945 and Stanley's son Jack Paitson joined in 1954.  The operation prospered and in 1978 Jack's son Jeff Paitson joined the firm.

By now both divisions had grown tremendously.  The hardware was one of the largest TRUE-VALUE hardware stores in the nation and the heating division was one of the oldest LENNOX dealers in the nation. 

In 1987 Jack and Jeff Paitson purchased the heating and air conditioning division and it continues to be one of the most outstanding independent LENNOX PREMIER dealerships in the nation.

On September 13, 1993, Jeff Paitson surrendered his life to the Lord Jesus Christ.  In 1998 Jack Paitson retired from the business and went to be with the Lord in 2007.  Jeff continues to run the business with the same values that have been passed down from previous generations.
